Amazonian Elephant's Ear
Family
Araceae
It has been our experience that Alocasia ×amazonica 'Polly' performs well in our area in a warm season planting. It requires shade, or it will burn in the sun. If foliage becomes unsightly, it can be removed to clean the plant and improve its appearance. We have found it to be relatively low maintenance when it has regular irrigation. It is about eighteen inches tall and about eighteen inches wide.
