Regal Shield Elephant Ear: Alocasia – 8 inch pot – 2-3 foot tall

A hybrid of Alocasia odora and Alocasia reginula, the Regal Shield (or Alocasia x reginora) lives up to its name with a truly commanding presence. This cultivar is prized for its large, heart-shaped leaves that transition into a deep, near-black hue on the surface, beautifully contrasted by lime-green veins and undersides. Combining the velvet aesthetic of its smaller parent with the upright vigor of its larger one, it is a hardier member of the family that brings a dark, architectural flair to any room.
