New and exciting arrivals for 2024. Dramatic Colocasia Collection brings you unusual, bulbous plants with gigantic leaves from March to November. Fabulous for adding foliage colour and a generous dash of quirky to your garden. Ideal for pond edges or a damp container, these tropical beauties mature into statuesque, sculptural plants which, with a little winter care, will return year after year. Dramatic Colocasia Collection comprises ‘Schott Pharoah’s Mask’ with reptilian green leaves masked by corrugated, dark ribs and pronounced black veins which curl backwards, forming a mask shape; ‘Redemption’ with intense black and green foliage accented by a large, central star in an intense raspberry red; and ‘Madeira Star’ with its strong deep green leaves flashed by a reddish purple star to the centre. All reach a height of 1.2-1.5m, spreading out to 1m, and are huge in stature as well as presence and colour – perfect for adding up to 9 months of foliage drama to your garden. Plant in moi
