Although this hardy and easy-to-grow elephant ear was first described in 1916, the true species is just now becoming known in horticultural circles. From the remote mountains of New Guinea, Alocasia wentii is one of the very few alocasias we have found to be winter-hardy in our Zone 7b climate. The glossy bronze-green leaves reach 1' in length as they adorn this tightly clumping elephant ear. As the breeze blows, you will enjoy the contrasting metallic-purple leaf backs. Plant the corms at least 6" deep in soils that remain dry in the winter months.
