Variegated Xanthosoma Elephant Ears!

     Xanthosoma Jeoquinii Lineatum (jacquinii) - Zone 7b - Cold Hardy! - This is a very unusual plant that doesn't seem to be getting enough popularity among the plant community. I'm not sure why since it is really a beautiful one. Right from the beginning stages of their lives they shed their baby green only leaves. The blue green to light green leaves are uniformed (almost with the appearance of a painted on look) with a creamy white variegation in a spinal skeleton pattern. The leaf end lobes curl and the petioles are slender and can push the leaves 4-5 feet high when mature. I've found that the more sun they receive, the more the leaves crinkle. The less, the more flat the leaf. Talk about a beautiful specimen to have an admire. The part of the petiole where the leaves are pushed out from are outlined in a light pink color. They prefer a filtered sun light area and will grow in bright shade very well but I do have a few that receive about 4-5 hours of direct afternoon hot sun and the leaves do not get scorched as I would have thought. With all variegated plants, if grown in too much sun, the variegation could burn. These would make an excellent patio or house plant given their low light/shade tolerance. You can't go wrong here as these are just so easy to grow! Great plants for your Florida Room, patio, indoors, pool area or front porch! They can take the long periods of rain that we might experience and then the occasional drought once they are established. They will die down to freezes but like the rest are quick to make a come back. When placed among other plants, they stick out like a sore thumb, a green thumb. They add a quality that is all its own. This is one that you will not be disappointed in owning if you don't already have one. If you have an area where nothing grows because of the shade, this and most other elephant ears are a perfect choice! Plants grow to 4-5 feet!
