Description

The Dwarf Silver Taro adds bold texture and eye-catching color to the edges of any water garden. This compact variety features deep green leaves accented with striking silver splash highlights. The contrast creates visual interest and brightens shaded or partially shaded areas around ponds and water features.

This taro works especially well along pond margins, where its manageable size keeps it neat and easy to place. It also performs beautifully in tubs and containers, making it a versatile choice for patios, decks, and smaller water gardens. Its upright growth habit adds height without overwhelming nearby plants.

Gardeners appreciate the Dwarf Silver Taro for its adaptability. It thrives in consistently moist soil and shallow water, making it ideal for marginal planting zones. With proper warmth and light, it produces strong, healthy foliage throughout the growing season. The leaves maintain their coloration well and provide lasting ornamental appeal.

Beyond its visual impact, this plant helps soften hard pond edges and creates a more natural transition between water and landscape. It pairs well with flowering marginal plants and aquatic varieties, adding texture and contrast to mixed plantings.

The Dwarf Silver Taro also suits gardeners who want a statement plant in a smaller footprint. Its controlled size makes it easy to manage, while its unique silver markings ensure it never goes unnoticed.

Add the Dwarf Silver Taro to your water garden this year and enjoy a versatile, decorative plant that enhances pond edges, containers, and tub gardens with ease.

The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.

For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
