Southern Living Plant Collection Elephant Ears Royal Hawaiian R 'Waikiki' Ppaf

Colocasia esculenta Waikiki' is a new variety of Colocasia for 2022 being brought to us from the wonderful Royal Hawaiian collection! Waikiki foliage is dazzling with deep-green, glossy foliage that appears to have been sprinkled with white markings. One thing no one will be able to miss is the eye-catching vivid pink veins throughout each elephant ear leaf. The veins are formed when the back of each leaf change from purple to green, creating a purple dot in the center that will eventually flow into the veins. Expect fully mature plants to reach a very manageable 3 tall x 3 wide when grown in adequate conditions. Full-sun, partial-sun, and semi-shade are all acceptable light levels as these are native to tropical climates! Bright sun and moist soil are BEST in humid climates.
