Colocasia is a bold tropical foliage plant commonly known as Elephant Ear, prized for its dramatically large, heart-shaped to arrow-shaped leaves that create a lush, tropical atmosphere in gardens and containers. This #3 (3-gallon) container size offers a well-established plant ready to make an immediate impact in the landscape.

Colocasia thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist to wet soil, making it ideal for pond edges, rain gardens, water features, and humid garden beds. It is a fast-growing plant that can reach 3 to 6 feet in height and spread depending on the variety, producing bold foliage in shades ranging from deep green to near-black, purple, or variegated patterns. The variety selection at Costco may include popular cultivars such as 'Black Magic', 'Illustris', or standard green types.

Best suited for USDA hardiness zones 8–11 as a perennial; in colder climates it is grown as an annual or the corms can be dug and stored indoors over winter. Plant in rich, well-amended soil with regular fertilization to support vigorous growth throughout the warm season.
