Colocasia is the oldest cultivated plant in the world, grown for more than 10,000 years. These elephant ears produce a clump of large, long-stalked leaves that are heart-shaped. Plants produce underground tubers or rhizomes when grown in beds - that's a big plus for landscapers who get more power from every plant!
