Colocasia Pineapple Princess


This Colocasia, commonly called the Elephant Ear, is stunning. The Colocasia sport large heart shaped leaves and are thirsty plants that will perform well in a wide range of planting areas, from ponds and wet areas to landscape beds and containers. They are relatively fast growing, and this Pineapple Princess has been noticed to shoot off an amazing number of stems. The base clump on this plant in the picture is over 12 inches across. Pineapple Princess has large, olive-green glossy leaves that have a bit of a ruffle to them. The stems are a brilliant purple/red color along with the veins.
