Colocasia    Big Dipper

Unusual and Different Colocasia Elephant Ear

      Colocasia Tea / Coffee "Cups" - Also called Big Dipper - Cold Hardy! Here is a very unusual plant in the colocasia esculenta family. It is said to reach over 6 ft tall and leaves just like pictured about 1.5-2 feet long and proportionally as wide. They are cupped upward as if they are soaking in the sun and will collect water to hold a little in the leaves. The stems are deep burgundy/purple in color almost black and the leaves are dark dark purple similar to a black magic color. They curve up to even hold water pointing at a 45 degree angle. This plant loves the moist soil like the rest of its family and will soak up the sun if provided a good supply of water. Other than being very oddly leafed, this one will enjoy the same conditions as the rest of the esculenta varieties do and give much pleasure to those who get to enjoy their contrast and strange leaf shape. A VERY easy to grow plant that I have to say is fool proof for any gardener. After they are established they will reward you with multiple babies that form from the base. they do not produce runners so they are clumping and really stand out when cared just a little. They are extremely cold hardy to at least 22ºF. Leaves will be scorched but they will be among the first to grow back during any warm spell. If you don't have this one, you wont be disappointed that you've planted this gem among your favorites. Don't miss out!
