This tropical plant displays a remarkable depth of color and adds unique structure to the garden, to make a statement alone, or to contrast plants with bright blooms. Plant as a specimen in the garden or containers for lush foliage and dramatic impact the first season. (Alocasia sarawakensis)
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).
(48-96” tall x 48-60” wide) Make a statement with ‘Yucatan Princess’ Elephant Ears. Whether planted as an accent in mixed borders or set-apart in containers, ‘Yucatan Princess’ adds unique color and structure to any garden. Surround the patio with masses of this colossal workhorse and you’ll feel like you’ve escaped to a tropical paradise. Plant in moist, well-drained soil in full to partial sun, preferably with shade from the hot afternoon sun in warmer climates. Plants grow quickly, making them ideal for use as an annual in cool climates. Elephant Ears, tender tropical plants, can be grown as perennials in frost-free areas, or dug and stored overwinter in colder regions.
