Redemption Colocasia Elephant Ear | LIVE Starter Plant | Ships Spring 2027

SPRING 2027 PREORDER · Ships Spring 2027, not immediately.

Dark leaves, electric pink, and a little garden theatre. Colocasia esculenta ‘Redemption’ brings glossy black-purple foliage to life with vivid pink centers and branching veins. Broad, rippled leaves create a striking focal point in a tropical-style border or statement container.

Each order includes 1 live, rooted starter plant. This is a young plant to pot up and grow on, not the large mature specimen shown in reference photos.

• Mature foliage: Glossy black-purple leaves with pink centers and veins; broad, rippled texture.
• Mature height: Approximately 4 feet.
• Light: Sun to part sun; acclimate young plants gradually.
• Hardiness: The supplied variety reference lists USDA zones 7b–10b. Outdoor winter survival depends on local growing conditions.
• Seasonal habit: May become dormant in winter.
• Best uses: Tropical-style borders and large garden containers.

Arrival and growing care: Pot up your starter in a rich growing mix that retains moisture while allowing excess water to drain. Water thoroughly and keep consistently moist during active growth. Gradually acclimate the plant to outdoor light, protect it from frost, and plant outside only when conditions are reliably warm.

Winter care: In colder climates, grow in a container that can be protected for winter or overwinter the dormant plant frost-free.

About your starter: Young plants may not yet display the size, dark leaf color, or strong pink markings of mature foliage. Color and pattern can develop as the plant grows and vary with conditions. Plant size, leaf count, and root development naturally vary. Mature-growth photos are representative examples, not the size supplied. Decorative containers are not included.
