'Sangria' Elephant Ear’s light green foliage and wine-colored stalks create an extraordinary statement in the summer garden. Needs full sun to come to size in cool climates, but tolerates part-shade farther south. Plant in containers to create a tropical paradise on your own patio.(Colocasia)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Bring the tropics to your garden wherever you live with this Elephant Ear. Huge, light-green leaves are offset by bright red stems, making this Elephant Ear a show-stopper in the summer garden.
Gardeners love this exotic favorite as a screen or as a background for smaller plants and flowers. Always a highlight in any garden, and very easy to grow and care for.
