Dr. John Cho, of the University of Hawaii, bred a mix of the Colocasia illustris and Colocasia esculenta, so now we can say aloha to the Royal Hawaiian® Aloha elephant ear--a perfect blend of the striking leaf of the illustris and the clumping habit of the esculenta. The Aloha has black/dark purple leaves with green veins and stems.

Quality starters, arrived on time!

I've grown Blue Hawaii before for its large, lush and colorful leaves. This one was disappointing. I got one very tiny leaf, about an inch wide. No more leaves have emerged and the plant is now dying.
B
Very nice plant, a little smaller than I expected, but very healthy. Packed very well and shipped super fast.
