This just in: a 2022 elephant ear hybrid which will bedazzle your garden with its striking, multicolored veins. The Waikiki is a fun variety to watch grow because it's constantly changing: The leaves start out plain old green but then develop their white veins and a purple dot. Then, the purple dot gradually expands into the white veins. Finally, the veining turns primarily purple. Please note that elephant ears' attributes become more defined when they mature.

• Height when mature: 3 to 4 feet
• Light: Full to part sun
• Soil: Rich well drained, keep moist, do not let dry out between waterings.
• Zones: 7b-10b

Pet Friendly? No

USDA Grow Zones 7-10

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.

Arrived deceased

I don’t know if it was the packaging or wet, but when it arrived, it was completely dead

Hey Camber, sorry your plant died in transit. That happens (rarely) but shipping can be stressful on living organisms. If it arrived within the past 30 days, you can easily request a refund here: returns.wsprg.com

As described. Packaged with care. Definitely a starter size, but that's how we start our collections most often, is it not? If you want stuff not in local nurseries or big box stores, we find fellow enthusiasts willing to share their treasures:) Healthy plant, and I can't wait to watch her grow! Thanks!
