Characteristc:

These Elephant Ears are known for their frilled upwards shape resembling a cup. They love sun or part shade and make for beautiful landscaping to give your garden a tropical touch.

Their characteristic ‘cup’ is a lovely deep green color with coffee streaks through the ear/leaf. Their stems are the same dark brown. They multiply readily and make for a wonderful feature in a front yard that gets part sun, mostly shade. One of the most enchanting parts of this plant is that they generate their own dew most mornings, cupped gently in their upturned teacups. This little pool of water attracts all kinds of pollinators from butterflies and bees to frogs and hummingbirds. Coffee Cup Elephant Ears truly bring a magical touch to any shady space! This product is one large bulb with intact root system and may be planted upon receipt or saved for months as a dry bulb. They will over winter in colder climates but their foliage comes back the next spring.
