Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another fantastic addition to the Masquerade™ series, Zulu Mask is certain to capture the attention of onlookers! Leaves are long, narrow and deeply lobed, and can reach 2’ in length. Architecturally striking, each leaf is dark-green with white veins and has a dark maroon underside. A robust grower, this plant is very tolerant of rot, and should overwinter well in all of zone 8. Plants perform best in full sun to part shade, and are the perfect choice for containers and tropical displays.
