Elena Elephant Ear - Colocasia esculenta
Wellspring Classic Series
+ Free Shipping
The Elena elephant ear is a must-have for every garden with its chartreuse/lime green leaves complete with contrasting purple markings. The Elena is incredibly easy to grow and grows quickly. Use the Elena along a pond's edge or even in a pond, grow it in a container, or plant it in a flowerbed. If your plant doesn't look just like the picture, give it a little time to grow up. Elephant ears' attributes become even more defined when they mature.
• Average mature height: 2-4 feet
• Light: Part to full shade
• Soil: Prefers plenty of water. Does well in boggy areas.
• Zones: 7b-10

We sell baby plants
Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.
How tall are baby plants?
We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.
What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?
The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.
