A Beautiful and Edible Delight: Taro or Elephant Ear? A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

A Beautiful and Edible Delight: Taro or Elephant Ear?

Colocasia antiquorum Illustris

🍀 A Beautiful and Edible Delight: Taro or Elephant Ear?
  • Colocasia antiquorum Illustris, commonly known as the Imperial Taro or Elephant Ear, is a striking ornamental plant prized for its dramatic, dark purple and green heart-shaped leaves. While it is primarily cultivated for aesthetic purposes in gardens, ponds, and containers, it does have edible potential.​
  • Young Leaves: The young leaves of Colocasia antiquorum can be consumed when thoroughly cooked.
  • Tuber (Corm): The corms, or underground stems, of this species are edible but must be cooked properly (may cause irritation if consumed raw). ​
  • This cultivar thrives in moist, shaded environments, making it ideal for bog gardens, water features, and shaded landscapes. It prefers consistently moist or boggy soil and can tolerate dappled sunlight.
  • The plant is fast-growing and can reach heights of 5–6 feet, adding a tropical flair to your garden. ​

📸 In the photo: This beauty is right at our front door! We planted it a few years ago, and after a tough winter frost damaged it, it bounced back stronger than ever. Now, it's grown into a dense, clumping bush that's impossible to miss! People passing by often stop to admire it and ask what it is. It's truly a miracle plant!

  • 💮 Bridal Bouquet Plumeria - Plumeria pudica - is evergreen, unlike most plumeiras, that drop leaves in winter. It has vibrant, fiddle-shaped leaves! It's a tropical beauty that stays ornamental even when it's not in bloom.

  • 💮 Plumeria pudica blooms almost non-stop with large clusters of 3" white flowers with small yellow centers, forming a beautiful bouquet on the plant. It's like having your own tropical garden show every day!

  • 💮 Unique Growth Habit: This plumeria is versatile - it can grow as a small tree or as a dense, clumping bush, making it perfect for small yards or patios. The plant can be shaped to fit the space, growing rapidly and upright.

  • 💮 Low Maintenance: Easy to care for and tolerant of drought, Plumeria pudica thrives without the need for special attention. It's resistant to insects and fungus, unlike other plumerias. Simply plant and enjoy!

  • 💮 We have in our collection very interesting variety of Plumeria pudica from Thailand. It has variegated leaves! Plumeria pudica variegata - Snow Bridal Bouquet, or White Arrow Leaf - has variegated leaf margins. Like regular Plumeria pudica, it is evergreen, never drops leaves, and grows into a beautiful, dense multi-stem bush. Great for container culture.
