Colocasia esculenta 'Nancy's Revenge' (Nancy's Revenge Elephant Ear)

Sun to Part SunZone: 8a-10 72" tall Origin: Asia

Colocasia 'Nancy's Revenge' was introduced at the 2000 International Aroid Society meeting in Florida, where it was the most drooled-upon plant. Emerging solid green like typical C. esculenta, the 25" wide, light-green leaves begin turning buttercream-yellow along the center at the onset of hot weather. The color then pours down into the main vein creating a huge bold Y-pattern in the center of the leaf. Color then bursts into the lateral (side) veins and begins its march to the margins. Coloring starts in spring, shortly after the first leaves mature for us. C. 'Nancy's Revenge' sends out lots of side stolons that will root into the soil where moisture is adequate. As with all elephant ears...mo' moisture...mo' bigger. C. 'Nancy's Revenge' was discovered in the Caribbean and imported by Jerry Kranz, who later named the plant for his business partner, Nancy McDaniels of FL. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
