Colocasia Pink China

Description

Colocasia ‘Pink China’ is an exceptional elephant ear variety prized for its resilience and stunning visual appeal. Its large, bright green leaves create a lush, tropical effect, while its striking pink petioles (stems) provide an unexpected and beautiful contrast. This fast-growing perennial can reach up to 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters) tall, forming a dense and dramatic foliage display that enhances any garden setting.

Unlike many tropical Colocasias, Pink China is one of the most cold-hardy varieties, tolerating temperatures down to USDA zone 6 with winter protection. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist, fertile soil, making it ideal for water gardens, pond edges, and rain gardens. Whether grown in a container, used as a bold landscape accent, or planted in mass for a dramatic effect, Colocasia ‘Pink China’ delivers a stunning tropical aesthetic with minimal maintenance.
