Colocasia (Elephant Ear)

The JLBG collection includes about 7 species (including subspecies and varieties), 1 undetermined; 179 clones

This gallery is intended to show all named cultivars of Colocasia (Araceae), including the genus Leucocasia, which was split from colocasia, but will still hybridize with colocasia. The hybrids between the two genera are known as x Leucocolocasia. We have been at the forefront of increasing the popularity of the genus colocasia in the ornamental world, thanks to our cooperation with elephant ear breeder, Dr. John Cho of Hawaii since 2009. That collaboration has resulted in the introduction of many new cultivars with amazing leaf patterns.
