The cupped foliage of this elephant ear plant will collect rainwater until there is enough water to bend the stem and pour the water out. It is really cool and will appeal to kids of all ages. Colocasia coffee cups are great tropical plants suited to be grown as annuals in cold winter climates and perennials in warm winter climates. Some Colocasia esculenta tend to spread by runners, while others remain as a clump.  Coffee Cups is a clumper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv

To dig and store tubers follow these directions. First, allow frost to kill the top of the plant then cut back the stems and dig the tubers. Wash off any soil and then allow the tubers to dry. Wrap dry tubers in newspapers or pack them in peat moss. Label each tuber or group of tubers so you know what they are come spring. Store tubers in a dark, cool (35 to 45 F) place. Do not allow Coffee Cups elephant ear tubers to freeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePictures and Information Copied from Proven Winners \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ed Sobkowich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67662815953090,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3452\/8962\/files\/IMG-4059.png?v=1791316446","url":"https:\/\/laportesnursery.ca\/products\/island-giants%c2%ae-coffee-cups-elephants-ear-colocasia-esculenta","provider":"Laporte's Nursery \u0026 Greenhouses Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
