Colocasia fallax 'Silver Dollar' (Silver Dollar Dwarf Elephant Ear)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7b-10, at least 15" tall Origin: China, Vietnam

Web-Only! This Alan Galloway selection of the shade-loving dwarf C. fallax has proved to be a much more vigorous and attractive selection than any form of this species we have grown. The small, rich green leaves are much more rounded than normal and also highlighted by narrow silver veins and a wide central silver blotch. In late summer, the clumps are adorned with small yellow spathe and spadix flowers. The 15" tall plants make 2' wide clumps in 5 years, but should spread faster in moist soils by means of short, above-ground stolons...quite unique and quite beautiful! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
