    Remember how Elephant Ears were considered invasive? Guess what. This one is not. From the Royal Hawaiian series of Colocasias comes Hawaiian Punch, a tight, clump-forming, cold hardy perennial with a great tropical effect in the garden or in containers. The large, up to 3 feet, almost heart-shaped, tropical foliage of the Hawaiian Punch Elephant Ear is a glossy green and are edged with a narrow band of burgundy. Elephant Ears prefer moist soils but otherwise can be used as container plants, garden perennials and in bog or water garden settings where it can be submerged up to 2 inches deep.
