Description

(Elephant Ear) Add a regal tropical feel with Emerald Isle™ Alocasia. This elephant ear is an excellent choice as a stunning thriller in large combination containers or used as a specimen focal point in the landscape.

It can grow 3-4 feet high by 3 feet wide, can be grown in both sun or shade, and is hardy in zones 7b-10b. It forms a tall but compact clump of beautiful foliage making it suitable as a houseplant with bright light and adequate humidity.
