Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Alocasia ‘Pink Dragon’ is a showy tropical displaying large, shiny, dark green shield leaves marked with prominent silver veins and bright pink stems. The leaf undersides also provide interest, with a lovely ivory green color and crimson red veins. Grows in an upright, vase-shaped clump. Elephant Ears do best in warmer temperatures and high humidity. They are great for adding color and texture in landscapes and containers. Keep evenly moist and fertilize monthly during the growing season. Protect from freezing temperatures!
