Extra Large Colocasia esculenta Elephant Ear - 1 Bulb

The Mojito Colocasia plant boasts beautifully large and wide green leaves that drape over like large elephant ears, reaching two to three feet long! Elephant ears make wonderful houseplants and can be grown in outdoor containers in Colorado during the warmer months! This variety of colocasia is deer resistant.

  • Light: Full sun to partial shade
  • Planting instructions: Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Maintain a pH level of 6 to 7 to bring out the true color of this foliage. Summer bulbs grown outdoors require a great deal of water immediately after planting and the soil in your containers should stay continuously moist, but not soggy. Plant after the danger of frost has passed.
  • Mature Height: 30-60 inches
  • Additional Notes: Colocasia is a great container plant, just make sure you have a big enough container for their large bulbs! Bring your colocasia indoors during the winter if possible as they may not survive the winter if left unprotected. Hardy to zones 8-10.
