This new introduction is breath taking! This is the only chartreuse yellow Colocasia on the market. If that was enough to get you excited, look at the purple markings in the veins! These markings spread as the leaf matures in bright light. This makes a great pairing with the black leaved Colocasias, the colors really compliment one another. The leaf color is very similar to that of Xanthosoma 'Lime Zinger', but here’s the catch...it much easier to grow! Not only easier...its 10 times faster!
