Tea Cup Elephant Ear is perfect for adding height interest to your garden or landscape. The foliage has shiny green leaves that show in stylish contrast against dark, near-black veining the coloration. The leaves grow upright and form a distinctive cup-shape. This elephant ear loves the water, and you can even grow it in a pot submerged in a pond. A carefree and fast-growing plant, it's useful in shade gardens and borders. Deer tend not to bother this variety.
