Colocasia Maderia Star

Description

Colocasia ‘Madeira Star’ is an extraordinary elephant ear variety that stands out with its uniquely shaped, deep purple-black foliage and striking veining. Its large, star-like leaves emerge on strong, dark stems, adding bold contrast and a tropical feel to gardens and water features. The glossy, richly hued foliage creates an eye-catching effect, making it a perfect choice for statement plantings.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Madeira Star prefers consistently moist, fertile soil and benefits from regular watering to maintain its lush appearance. Hardy in USDA zones 8-11, it can be grown as a perennial in warm climates or overwintered indoors in cooler regions by storing the tubers. Whether used in containers, mass plantings, or as a striking accent in tropical gardens, Colocasia ‘Madeira Star’ delivers a bold, architectural presence and vibrant color throughout the growing season.
