Colocasia fallax (Silver Leaf Elephant Ear)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 7b-10 18" tall Origin: Thailand, Vietnam

Web-Only! We acquired this delightful elephant ear from the Galloway brothers, Alan and Frank. Unlike most other elephant ears, this light-shade and moisture-lover forms rounded leaves of velvety, medium green, each highlighted by a wide silver streak down the center vein, with smaller silver veins radiating from the center to the leaf edge. The plants are adorned all summer with small yellow spathe and spadix flowers. The 18" tall plants make 2' wide clumps in 3 years but spread much faster (4' wide patch in 2 years) in very wet soils by means of short, above-ground stolons...quite unique and quite beautiful!
