| | | | 4099 Colocasia esculenta Black Runner
This Black Beauty colocasia is a must for black plant fanatics. It has large matte black, heart shaped leaves on black/purple leaf stalks. As with most elephant ears, moist soil and high nutrition are the keys to great specimens. In shade leaves turn dark green. Once moved to bright sun, they turn back to black. In cooler subtropical climates leaves die back and the plant emerges from a rhizome in spring.

| | | | 4184 Colocasia esculenta Blue Hawaii (USPP 20003)
The medium green 12" long leaves are highlighted by the most dramatic purple veins ever seen on an elephant ear. On the leaf back, the veins are equally dramatic, only cranberry instead of purple. This small elephant ear tops out for us at only 30" tall. Perfect for a smaller location.

| | | | 4186 Colocasia esculenta Hawaiian Eye (USPP 19884)
This hybrid makes a 4' tall non-running clump, composed of large 18" long leaves that emerge black with silver-grey veins. As the leaves age, they morph to grey green, each highlighted by a dark central eye of purple radiating out into the leaf. Each leaf is further highlighted by a narrow purple border and a great backside as the veins on the reverse appear to be bright cranberry. The glossy jet black stem is a stunning contrast to both the leaves and the bright yellow flowers in late summer.

| | | | 4187 Colocasia esculenta Hilo Bay (USPP 20108)
This very unique Colocasia makes a 4' tall specimen with thick, dark chocolate stems, each ending with a 20" olive green leaf. Each thick textured and heavily corrugated leaf with upturned edges is reminiscent of the volcanic rock at Hilo Bay. This selection spreads slightly, but nothing like the old more aggressive cultivars.

| | | | 4172 Colocasia esculenta Mojito
This new sport of Colocasia was discovered in Florida. Incredible contrasting blacks and greens adorn its leaves. This camouflage effect is matched with light green stems streaked with dark purple that fade up to pink, with chartreuse highlights mixed in to create a totally wild and exotic scene in the summer garden. No two leaves are the same. Even the stems are highlighted with stripes. Grows more compact than other Elephant Ears, making it an excellent choice for a large container.

| | | | 4188 Colocasia esculenta Pineapple Princess (USPP 20982)
This is new hybrid from Hawaii. This magnificent hybrid makes a low 3' tall x 5' wide non-stoloniferous clump, composed of 18" long dusty grey-lavender leaves, each highlighted by dramatic purple veins. The back of the leaves are equally as dramatic with the dark purple veins showing off against the grey-purple back. This has proven to be a vigorous grower in our trials, flowering well in late summer and fall with spiky yellow flowers, which are fruity smelling as they begin to open.
