Elephant's ear (cultivar)
Hardiness: USDA Zones 9–11

This small, compact Alocasia hybrid boasts a truly "fantastic" palette of foliage colors. Averaging 1½ feet in height, it produces thick, curving, 8-inch-long arrow-shaped leaves. Upper leaf surfaces are powdery gray, with dark green midribs and dusky-silver lateral veins; lower surfaces are a shining deep purple. The 10-inch-long leaf stalks are vibrant pink! Grow 'Fantasy' in moist, humus-rich soil and partial shade, and a minimum temperature of around 60°F.
