named for cypripedium grower Sebastian Urban

with the top half of each pitcher soon changing to bright red as warmer weather approaches

We absolutely love this perennial sub-shrub that forms a 2' tall x 2' wide clump of upright flexible stems

although it's amazingly tolerant of some shade and soil that dries for a short time

As with all hellebore seed strains

Colocasia esculenta Pharaohs Mask PP 33772 Tripidium named for cypripedium grower SebastianColocasia 'Pharaoh's Mask' is a fascinating Colocasia esculenta hybrid, created by Kentucky's Brian Williams. This unique elephant ear forms a 3' tall specimen with glossy olive green leaves, each highlighted by dramatically raised dark purple leaf veins. Colocasia 'Pharaoh's Mask' forms a loose clump that propagates by short rhizomes. The plant supply is very short due to propagation issues, so our supply is very limited.
