Description / Colocasia Royal Hawaiian® Tropical Storm Elephant Ear Bulb

Colocasia Royal Hawaiian Tropical Storm Elephant Ear is a compact tropical treasure that brings bold, dramatic foliage to your garden or patio. This petite plant grows 18 to 24 inches tall and wide, making it perfect for small spaces. Its dense canopy of dark purple-black leaves features striking creamy streaks and wavy margins. Slightly cupped and perched on glossy burgundy-red stems, the leaves also reveal burgundy-red veins underneath for added flair.

This frost-tender Colocasia esculenta variety thrives in Zones 8-12 , boasting an upright, clumping habit ideal for container gardens or bright indoor spaces. It's equally at home as a pond marginal or in rain gardens, where its bold leaves provide a stunning focal point. Use it alone for a dramatic statement or in groups to complement vibrant flowering plants.

Easy to care for, Tropical Storm thrives in sunny to partially shaded locations with fertile, moist soil. Consistent moisture is key to its success, and afternoon shade is helpful in hot climates. Resistant to deer, this plant is as practical as it is beautiful, requiring little maintenance once established.

Plant the 9- to 11-inch Tropical Storm elephant ear bulb in mid-spring when soil and air temperatures are consistently above 60°F. Space bulbs 18 to 24 inches apart and bury them 2 to 4 inches deep. In colder regions, lift the bulbs in fall and store them in a cool, dry spot around 50°F. Replant in spring for another season of tropical beauty.
