Colocasia esculenta 'Hawaiian Eye' PPAF (Hawaiian Eye Elephant Ear)

SunZone: 7b-10 48" tall Origin: Hybrid

(aka: Colocasia 2005-23) This 2008 John Cho introduction makes a 4' tall non-running clump, composed of large 18" long grey-green leaves, 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. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
