About This Variety: These giant upright Elephant Ears come from the alocasia family and are known for their leaves, which point in an upward direction. This most impressive variety grows somewhat larger than our traditional Elephant Ears. Their leaves are huge, leathery thick, sculpted on rigid stems. These plants will make a passersby stop in their tracks. In native areas, under ideal conditions, the plants have reached 10 feet in height.
