Elephant Ear 'Mojito' (Colocasia esculenta): Speckled Foliage Sensation

Colocasia esculenta 'Mojito' is a stunning elephant ear cultivar with large, heart-shaped, green leaves dramatically splashed and speckled with irregular black-purple markings—like a mojito cocktail. An Araceae family member, it grows 4 to 5 feet tall.

It thrives in full sun to partial shade, wet to moist soil, and can even grow in shallow water. A dramatic focal point for tropical gardens, pond margins, or large containers. Lift tubers in cold climates.
