Colocasia esculenta ‘Mojito’
Colocasia 'Mojito' has incredible black-speckled taro/elephant ear leaves. A magnificent focal point for containers or garden.
Colocasia ‘Mojito’ is a taro or elephant’s ear cultivar with large, dramatic, arrow-shaped, speckled, black and green leaves. This colourful effect is matched with light green stems streaked with dark purple that fade to pink. It can be grown as a marginal plant in ponds or in pots or beds with evenly moist soil. Yellowish-white spathes and spadixes may appear in summer but are usually hidden by the foliage. A houseplant in winter for most. Hardy to zone 7b.
