Tea Cup Elephant Ear is a unique variety with cup-shaped leaves that stand upright and collect rainwater. Dark purple veins and stems accent the deep green leaves, making a striking focal point in containers and garden beds. A great solution for wet areas of the landscape, Elephant Ears are at home alongside water features and can be grown in water gardens. Colocasia can also be grown as a houseplant in a large container. (Colocasia esculenta)

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
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).
