Description / Colocasia 'Hawaiian Punch' Elephant Ear Bulb

Part of the Royal Hawaiian Elephant series, Colocasia 'Hawaiian Punch' brings vibrant tropical flair to gardens of all sizes. Compact yet eye-catching, this elephant ear grows to just 36 inches tall and wide, making it ideal for containers or small spaces. Its arrowhead-shaped, semi-glossy green leaves feature striking red veins and wavy red margins, sitting atop bold red stems that add to its dramatic appeal. Though it may produce yellowish-white spathes, the leaves remain the true star of this stunning plant.

A frost-sensitive Colocasia esculenta variety, also known as elephant ear or taro, 'Hawaiian Punch' thrives in Zones 10-11. Its upright, clumping habit makes it a natural fit for containers, rain gardens, or ponds. Plant it solo for a bold statement or in groups for a lush, tropical look. Its versatile size and vibrant foliage make it a standout addition to any garden.

Low maintenance and adaptable, 'Hawaiian Punch' thrives in sunny to partially shaded areas with fertile, well-draining loamy soil that stays consistently moist. Some afternoon shade is beneficial in hot climates to protect the foliage. Once established, it requires minimal care and is deer resistant, adding worry-free beauty to your landscape.

Plant the 7- to 9-inch bulb in mid-spring once soil and air temperatures reach 60°F or higher. Bury the bulb 2 to 3 inches deep and space them 3 to 4 feet apart. In cooler climates, dig up the bulbs in fall and store them in a cool, dry place where temperatures remain above 45°F for winter storage. Replant in spring to enjoy this tropical beauty year after year.
