COLOCASIA Size: 4 inch pots “Elephant Ears”, “Taro” Colocasia has been grown in parts of Asia for over 10,000 years and is the oldest cultivated crop in the world.

Spectacular as a screen, the large tubers thrive in moist soil and are wonder- ful in pond margins or submerged in pots in water ponds. When planted in beds, plants will spread by producing underground tubers. Most prefer full sun but can tolerate lower light levels. From tissue culture.
