New and exciting arrival for 2024. Colocasia esculenta ‘Schott Pharoah’s Mask’ is one of the most intriguing foliage plants available. Its vibrant and strangely marked, reptilian green leaves are enhanced by a dark central spine from which corrugated ribs fan out and curl backwards forming a mask shape. Reminiscent of well-known funeral mask of Tutankhamun with its bold stripes and unforgettable impact.
Colocasia are bulbous plants with gigantic leaves, which are held from March to November. Colocasia esculenta ‘Schott Pharoah’s Mask’ is a fabulous to add foliage colour and a generous dash of quirky to your garden. Ideal for pond edges or a damp container, this tropical wonder will mature into statuesque, sculptural plants which, with a little winter care, will return year after year.
Plant in moist soil which is acidic or neutral in pH and of any kind except chalk based. Position in full sun or partial shade. A sub-tropical, herbaceous perennial which can be grown as a houseplan
