Comments:
The primary feature of this tropical elephant ear is the wavy, v-shaped, deeply lobed, green leaves with prominent white veins. The undersides of the leaves are red. It thrives in fertile, moist soils and direct sunlight although it will tolerate considerable shade. It makes a high profile container plant for the patio, terrace or other outdoor space where the plant can be viewed up close for its attractive foliage.
