    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Colocasia Dark star was collected by our good friend Hayes Jackson. This Colocasisa has shown to be a fast and interesting plant. It produces large leaves that have a dark V shaped in the center of each leaf. As the plant matures the veins will become black or dark purple. This plant is the opposite of Nancy's revenge. Foliage: Green leaf with dark veins Flowers: Yellow hooded Height: 4 to 6' tall
