Feature

Turn shade into a spotlight. Redemption™ unfurls broad, heart-shaped leaves that read nearly black, slashed with vivid hot-pink centers and veins—an instant, tropical focal point for patios, ponds, and modern containers. The bold color holds through summer heat, pairing beautifully with silver grasses, lime coleus, or ferny textures for high-contrast drama indoors or out.

Redemption™ Colocasia Care

Give this elephant ear bright, indirect light to morning sun with afternoon shade outdoors; indoors, place near a bright window out of harsh rays. Plant in rich, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil (mix compost into beds; use a chunky, peat-free potting mix with added bark/perlite for containers).

Keep soil consistently moist—never bone-dry—with deeper, more frequent watering in hot weather. Colocasias are hungry: feed every 2–4 weeks in spring–summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer (or use a slow-release at planting). High humidity (50%+) keeps foliage pristine; group with other plants or use a pebble tray indoors.

Remove spent or wind-torn leaves cleanly at the base to direct energy to new growth. Frost tender: perennial in roughly USDA Zones 8–11; in colder zones, treat as an annual or lift and store tubers dry in a cool, frost-free place after first frost. Note: sap may irritate skin; all parts are considered toxic if ingested—site away from pets and children.

Redemption™ Colocasia Spacing

Expect about 3–4 ft tall and 3–4 ft wide in a season. In beds and borders, space 30–36 inches on center for a full, seamless canopy; tighten to 24 inches for lush massing around water features. As a solo statement, allow 24–30 inches of open space around the plant so leaves can arch without brushing paths.

For containers, start with a sturdy 14–18"+ diameter pot with excellent drainage; place planters 18–24 inches apart for airflow and maintenance access. Works at the shallow edge of ponds or boggy sites (crown above waterline).
