Colocasia 'Violet Stem' Taro

Colocasia 'Violet Stem' (often classified alongside or interchangeably with the cultivar Colocasia esculenta 'Fontanesii') is a dramatic, fast-growing aquatic perennial aroid famous for its striking deep violet-to-maroon petioles (leaf stalks). This ornamental elephant ear or taro adds bold, architectural form and a distinct tropical flair to moisture-rich garden settings.
