Colocasia esculenta 'Pink China' is a hardy elephant ear cultivar notable for its pink leaf stems (petioles) and pink veins on the large, green, heart-shaped leaves. An Araceae family member, it grows 3 to 4 feet tall.
It's more cold-tolerant than many colocasias, surviving to USDA zone 6 with mulch. Thrives in full sun to partial shade, moist to wet soil. A striking foliage plant for temperate tropical gardens and pond margins.
