The dramatic tropical foliage of colocasia elephant ears Tea Cup growing in a shady garden bed.

Colocasia Esculenta Tea Cup

Write a Review

These elephant ears make a bold architectural statement in gardens and containers. The glossy, blue-grey leaves have burgundy stems and dark ribs. The tips of the leaves point up toward the sky, creating a cupped area at the base that collects water. When full, the leaves turn downward and pour out the water. Like other colocasias, Tea Cup is a heat lover and grows best in warm soil.

  • Bold Tropical Foliage
