Description
Pharaoh's Mask Elephant Ear is a striking tuberous perennial grown for its large, bright green arrow-shaped foliage that curves under at the edges marked with dramatic black veins and stems. Its canna-lily flowers rarely bloom. The best color occurs with filtered light and rich, moist to marginal soils. If grown in area that experiences frost, bring inside to overwinter or treat as an annual.
