Alocasia Regal Shields Elephant Ear is tropical royalty, a striking hybrid that combines the velvet-dark drama of 'Black Velvet' with the upright habit and cold hardiness of Alocasia odora. The result is a regal plant with enormous, deep-green leaves edged in a velvety near-black sheen, bold creamy-white veins, and surprise, rich purplish-red undersides that flash color with every breeze.

• Pairs magnificently with bold-colored cannas, bananas, and gingers
