Colocasia gigantea, or Thailand Giant, is reach-for-the-sky kind of giant. It grows up to 10-feet tall with leaves up to 5-feet long and 4-feet wide. So grab a lemonade and take a seat under the Thai Giant's generous shade. 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.

Introducing Premium & Supreme plants

We're expanding our product lineup with plants that need more space than our classic 2/3-cup pot allows.

New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.

Your plants are packed with the utmost care, but shipping can be stressful on the little guys.

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.
