About Colocasia Aloha (Elephant Ear)
Colocasia Aloha is a standout among Elephant Ear varieties, bringing a bold tropical vibe to any space. The large, heart-shaped leaves of rich olive green transition into a deep purple-black hue accentuated by bluish-green and light green veins. Atop vibrant green stems, these glossy leaves can reach an impressive two feet in length and a foot in width.
Part of the Hawaiian Series developed by Dr. John Cho, this cultivar combines the clumping form of Colocasia Esculenta with the leaf patterning of the Colocasia 'Illustris' group. The result? A plant with outstanding foliage quality and striking visual appeal.
Cultivated in Costa Rica, these Colocasia bulbs brim with self-contained energy, ensuring robust growth. Adaptable to various environments—beds, borders, or containers—this versatile plant thrives as a striking centerpiece or background foliage. For optimal indoor growth, choose a large container and position in indirect sunlight.
