    Huge leaves and a stunning creamy white vein design make this colocasia a standout. White Lava grow to three feet tall with leaves waving atop purple stems and decorated with a purple "V" shaped splotch. The white veining hides early in the season and beomes more pronounced as the leaves grow larger and the summer progresses. White Lava is a stunning clumping elephant ear variety, with none of the "running" root issues of it's predecessor, Nancy's Revenge. Why Grow Elephant Ears? Few plants are as bold and impressive as these. Excellent for height and drama. No need to travel across the world for a touch of the tropics. This variety can be grown in the garden or in a large container.

    This unique Elephant Ear comes from the breeding program of Dr. John Cho in Hawaii. The large, glossy green leaves develop a striking creamy-white band down the center of each leaf that radiates out into the side veins as the leaf matures creating a stunning specimen that's attractive and eye-catching. There is also a distinct purple spot in the heart of each leaf. This new colocasia is a tightly clumping plant that's ideal for a container or garden bed.
