Giant Elephant Ear (Colocasia gigantea) is a colossal tropical perennial grown for its enormous, heart-shaped, peltate leaves that can reach 4-6 feet long and 3-4 feet wide — creating a truly prehistoric presence. It forms a massive clump from a large corm. Thrives in wet, fertile soil and full sun to partial shade. A dramatic architectural plant for water gardens and tropical landscapes.
