Colocasia Affinis Jenningsii
Colocasia affinis Jenningsii is a fascinating but little-known dwarf elephant ear, prized for its picture-perfect, velvety charcoal leaf face with central soot veining and a massive silver splotch in the middle of each leaf. This plant is native to India, Myanmar (Burma), and Western China, where it thrives in moist soils with partial sun and light shade.
Throughout the summer, the dense clumps are covered with little yellow spathe and spadix flowers. Colocasia plants go dormant right before the fall freeze and bloom in late May or June!
