Common name elephant ears Family araceae Life cycle perennial (Z8-11) Size to 36" Light sun-part shade Cultural notes prefers moist soil Fast-growing aroid with deep purple textured leaves.

I got this specimen for the pond, where it adds nice contrast to the many spikey plants and the greens of the lilypads.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: waterfall pond
