Colocasia 3 Live Plants – 5–8 Inches – Elephant Ear Taro – Colocasia sp.

Colocasia, commonly known as Elephant Ear or Taro, is a tropical perennial grown for its bold foliage. This listing includes 3 live Colocasia starter plants measuring 5–8 inches tall and suitable for indoor or outdoor growing.

Approx. 5–8 inches tall at time of shipping. The seller recommends full sun and moist soil. The plants are described as perennial in USDA Zones 8–9 and are supplied at the seedling growth stage.

The listing contains a naming inconsistency: the structured information identifies the genus as Colocasia, while portions of the description refer to Alocasia. Because the seller's structured botanical genus is Colocasia, this listing uses Colocasia sp. and does not assume a specific species.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.
