Elephant Ears

Travel to the tropics without leaving your own backyard. Commonly known as elephant ears, Alocasia and Colocasia are beloved for leaves that are so astonishingly immense, you can practically hide among them. Gently swaying in the summer breeze, elephant ears add dramatic height, uncommon contours and lush colours to any garden. These tender plants are native to hot climates and must be lifted seasonally in areas that have winter frost (zones 3-8).
