Kona Coffee Elephant Ear(Colocasia 'Royal Hawaiian Kona Coffee') Plant Features

Quite compact, Colocasia esculenta 'Kona Coffee' (Taro) is a tuberous, frost-tender perennial with long-stalked, glossy, heart-shaped, slightly cupped, dark chocolate leaves. Unlike the leaves of Alocasia which point skyward, the leaves of Colocasia droop and point toward the ground. Reminiscent of calla lily flowers, the blossoms consist of a yellowish-green spathe and spadix. They are not particularly showy and are infrequently produced. 'Kona Coffee' is a hassle-free tropical that makes an unforgettable focal point and is outstanding as a container plant.

Kona Coffee Elephant Ear(Colocasia 'Royal Hawaiian Kona Coffee') Growing Instructions

Often grown for their dramatic foliage reminiscent of elephant ears, Colocasia and Alocasia are terrific tender perennials that provide a strong ornamental interest and quickly give a touch of the tropics in gardens or containers. Impossibly exotic, their architectural shapes make them perfect for planting as focal plants or massed to create a tropical effect. Easy to grow, they stand proud and bold provided some basic rules are respected.
