    The narrow ?dragon-fly-wing? leaves of this smaller-sized Elephant Ears are a shiny plum-red during winter and topped by unique coral-pink flowers which are a treat in the early spring garden. PSh-Sh/M

    By: Forestfarm

    This petite Pigsqueak sports elongated, narrow, glossy foliage in evergreen clumps 8-10” tall and 18-24” wide, turning from green to plum tones in winter…clusters of bright pink flowers (reminiscent of cherry blossoms) with deep red centers on taller stems in mid spring, long lasting. Most soils with decent drainage, sun to part shade (warmer areas), average water, protect from winter winds. Good in pots, rock gardens, borders and woodlands.
