Colocasia Royal Hawaiian® ‘Waikiki’ PP (Colocasia esculenta hybrid)

This stunning Colocasia ‘Waikiki’ originates from plant hybridizer, Dr. John Cho, retired Emeritus Plant Pathologist from the University of Hawaii. ‘Waikiki’ is part of the Royal Hawaiian® series. The leaves emerge green and develop a wide white central vein with a purple dot in the center. As the leaves mature, the purple expands into the veins and creates a sensational foliage display in the garden. ‘Waikiki’ is an attractive container plant that reaches 36-42” tall with deep purple stems and showy leaves. Grow in full to partial sun and moist soil. ‘Waikiki’ was chosen as the first Colocasia winner in the All-America Selections for 2023.

Tips for Success:
 

Fast and easy-to-grow the Taro Root is almost foolproof and the large leaves a pleasure to grow.


• Grow in full sun. The more sun the better, although they will
  grow under varying light levels.
• Fertilize moderately but be consistent. Too much feed can
  burn the foliage.
• In the summer water freely. They can be grown in water or at
  the water's edge.
 For container and garden planting keep evenly moist.
• In winter, tubers can be dug and stored in a basement,
  keeping some moisture around the root. Or grow inside as a
  houseplant.
