Elena Elephant Ear is New Addition to Tropical Landscape - eXtension
Released August 13, 2009
MISSISSIPPI STATE - We count on tropical plants to be the stalwart landscape performers when August heat rolls in, and one you need to consider is an elephant ear named Elena. In case you haven’t noticed, elephant ears have changed; in addition to their big, coarse or bold-textured foliage, they offer exciting color, too.
This is where Elena rises to the occasion. “Rise” might be a good descriptor, as it can form big clumps reaching 4 to 6 feet tall and exhibiting a riotous lime green or chartreuse color. Lime green is still at the top of the charts for must-have color in the shade or sun garden.
Elena is an easy-to-grow selection that tolerates full sun as long as the water supply is there. It spreads in moist sites. Elena is known botanically as colocasia, the genus with which most gardeners are familiar. It has a little purple in the veins near the center of the leaf.The other lime green elephant ear that is rising in popularity is Lime Zinger, known botanically as xanthosomas. It can get much taller than Elena with leaves that are a little wider. Both Elena and Lime Zinger are cold hardy to zone 7b and will return as long as they don’t sit in soggy soil in the winter.
