🍀 A Beautiful and Edible Delight: Taro or Elephant Ear?

Colocasia antiquorum Illustris, commonly known as the Imperial Taro or Elephant Ear, is a striking ornamental plant prized for its dramatic, dark purple and green heart-shaped leaves. While it is primarily cultivated for aesthetic purposes in gardens, ponds, and containers, it does have edible potential.​

Young Leaves: The young leaves of Colocasia antiquorum can be consumed when thoroughly cooked.

Tuber (Corm): The corms, or underground stems, of this species are edible but must be cooked properly (may cause irritation if consumed raw). ​

This cultivar thrives in moist, shaded environments, making it ideal for bog gardens, water features, and shaded landscapes. It prefers consistently moist or boggy soil and can tolerate dappled sunlight.

The plant is fast-growing and can reach heights of 5–6 feet, adding a tropical flair to your garden. ​

👀 Have you ever seen a Bridal Bouquet Plumeria this size?

📸 In the photo: This beauty is right at our front door! We planted it a few years ago, and after a tough winter frost damaged it, it bounced back stronger than ever. Now, it's grown into a dense, clumping bush that's impossible to miss! People passing by often stop to admire it and ask what it is. It's truly a miracle plant!

💮 Bridal Bouquet Plumeria - Plumeria pudica - is evergreen, unlike most plumeiras, that drop leaves in winter. It has vibrant, fiddle-shaped leaves! It's a tropical beauty that stays ornamental even when it's not in bloom.

💮 Plumeria pudica blooms almost non-stop with large clusters of 3"white flowers with small yellow centers, forming a beautiful bouquet on the plant. It's like having your own tropical garden show every day!

💮 Unique Growth Habit: This plumeria is versatile - it can grow as a small tree or as a dense, clumping bush, making it perfect for small yards or patios. The plant can be shaped to fit the space, growing rapidly and upright.

💮 Low Maintenance: Easy to care for and tolerant of drought, Plumeria pudica thrives without the need for special attention. It's resistant to insects and fungus, unlike other plumerias. Simply plant and enjoy!

💮 We have in our collection very interesting variety of Plumeria pudica from Thailand. It has variegated leaves! Plumeria pudica variegata - Snow Bridal Bouquet, or White Arrow Leaf - has variegated leaf margins. Like regular Plumeria pudica, it is evergreen, never drops leaves, and grows into a beautiful, dense multi-stem bush. Great for container culture.
