Gardening: Growing gigantic Elephant Ears
Elephant ear plants (Colocasia esculenta is a widely grown species called taro) offer some of the boldest foliage you could ever want in a garden. Huge, heart-shaped leaves come in black, emerald green, chartreuse, yellow, or a combination of colors. The mammoth leaves can be more than three feet long on plants which can grow taller than six. Even their stems deliver impressive colors. New breeding of Alocasia, Colocasia, and Xanthosoma species has resulted in hybrids which offer a wealth of choices in colors and sizes. Some of the best new varieties are from the Royal Hawaiian series such as Hawaiian Punch, Blue Hawaii, Kona Coffee, White Lava, and the Pineapple Princess.
