White Lava Elephant's Ear

Long thin tubular spathes in yellow are partially hidden below the large green elephant ears with the bold patches of white and yellow occupying the center of each leaf. Yellow leaf petioles make finding the spathes hidden just below the leaves a challenge. No strong fragrance, either positive or negative to this member of the Aroid family. Plant in sun to shade, wet soils, and either bring indoors after the first frost or repurchase the following spring.
