Colocasia esculenta 'Royal Hawaiian® Maui Gold'

Elephant's Ear

Plant Type: Annual

This variety of Colocasia has bright, chartruese leaves and stems that instantly bring a tropical feel wherever it is planted! The large leaves and height lend dramatic impact to beds and borders, and it is also a stunning contender for a 'thriller' effect in large mixed containers. While it can do well with average watering, it also can tolerate very wet conditions and can even be used in water features in containers or planted by the waters edge.
