Colocasia esculenta 'Illustris' ~ Illustris Elephant Ear, Taro Size:1 GALLON Unlike some other persimmon varietiesIllustris Elephant Ear is a dramatic, frost tender tuberous perennial grown for its massive arrow shaped foliage with dramatic green venation and black highlights. Its canna lily like summer flowers are infrequent and often hidden in the foliage when they do bloom. The best color occurs with filtered light and rich, moist to marginal soils. If grown in area that experiences frost, bring inside to overwinter or treat as an annual. Syn. with Colocasia
