Unleash the exotic allure of the tropics in your garden with Heart of the Jungle® Elephant's Ear! This stunning plant features thin, spindly stems that allow its enormous, lush leaves to spread wide in an elegant arc, gracefully hanging above the center. Its unique growth habit makes it a fantastic choice for creating striking planting combinations—let the impressive leaves drape over lower-growing plants for a truly dramatic effect. While Heart of the Jungle® is stunning when planted alone, it’s versatile enough to stand out in any garden setting. An award-winning beauty, this tropical gem thrives as an annual in most zones, but in warmer climates (zones 8 through 11), it can act as a perennial, bringing lasting elegance year after year. Perfect for adding a touch of grandeur to any landscape, Heart of the Jungle® will have your garden feeling like a lush, tropical paradise.

  • 36-60 inches tall and 30-60 inches wide at maturity
  • Annual except in zones 8-11, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
  • Plant in full sun to part sun (6+ to 4 hours daily)
  • Space plants 36-60 inches apart for best results
  • Maintains dark green, heart-shaped leaves with burgundy veins and stems from spring to first frost
  • Great for containers, combinations, planters, landscapes, focal points
  • Foliage interest, heat tolerant, deadheading not necessary, water plant

This highly sought-after container size for annuals provides immediate impact upon planting because they are grown in a larger container. They were created for gardeners who are looking to fill in their landscapes and not have to wait as long for them to catch up to other plants in the same area. They also work extremely well when planted alone in 10" - 12" containers or as Thrillers for combinations in 16" and larger planters! 

Care: Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners® Water Soluble Fertilizer.

These are durable plants that will perform best with moist to wet soil, but can tolerate some drought stress. Drought stress will negatively affect the appearance of the plant. Colocasia form tubers and these tubers can be stored for replanting in the spring. To dig and store tubers follow these directions. First, allow frost to kill the top of the plant then cut back the stems and dig the tubers. Wash off any soil and then allow the tubers to dry. Wrap dry tubers in newspapers or pack them in peat moss. Label each tuber or group of tubers so you know what they are come spring. Store tubers in a dark, cool (35 to 45 F) place. Do not allow tubers to freeze.

According to the Humane Society of America, Colocasia plants can be toxic to pets. This is means that the plants are generally identified as having the capability for producing a toxic reaction. This plant is not edible and can be harmful to humans if ingested.

Love this screen room divider!
Color: Beige, Size: 6 Panel
Loved this room divider screen so much bought another one! Several months ago bought the 6 panel and have used it on numerous occasions and was thinking of buying another 6 panel so went ahead and did just that. It’s packaged so well it arrived undamaged and no assembly required. Instant gratification with this beautiful and classy looking screen. (No pictures, already posted them on the first review of the first screen). It’s not wobbly at all, nice height, light enough that it’s easy to move from area to area and set up in seconds, no weird smells. Maybe this is adulting excitement but I can’t recommend this screen/room divider enough, you will LOVE it!

Overall great find!
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel
This privacy room divider is awesome! Pretty and lightweight. Easy to move around and stands very sturdy. I purchased this to use as a privacy screen for a family member who is ill. And now I'm actually using it in front of my sliding glass doors to block the extreme heat and sun! Works great!

Exactly what I needed!
Color: Beige, Size: 6 Panel
This room divider went above that I was even expecting. I was needing it to be long enough to provide privacy in a room without a door. And this was perfect! It is sturdy, it is the perfect height and it is long! Good quality, not to heavy and bulky. No assembly, just straight out the box and ready to go. Definitely worth the money!
