Royal Hawaiian Waikiki Elephant Ear (Colocasia esculenta 'Waikiki')

Royal Hawaiian Waikiki Elephant Ear is a colorful tropical foliage plant valued for its glossy green leaves, bright white veining, and vivid pink central markings. Its high-contrast foliage brings a fresh, polished look to patios, poolside plantings, large containers, moist garden beds, and tropical-style landscapes. This compact clumping selection offers bold elephant ear texture in a more manageable size than many larger Colocasia varieties. With warmth, rich soil, steady moisture, and sun to partial shade, Royal Hawaiian Waikiki Elephant Ear creates a lush, colorful display through the growing season.

Distinctive Features

Royal Hawaiian Waikiki Elephant Ear produces glossy green leaves accented by strong white veins and bright pink coloring through the center of the foliage. The leaf pattern gives the plant a distinctive tropical look that stands out against dark foliage, chartreuse plants, and bright seasonal flowers. It forms a compact clump, making it especially useful in containers and designed beds where bold foliage is desired without excessive spread. Flowers may appear occasionally as a spathe and spadix, but this plant is grown primarily for its dramatic foliage and warm-season color.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Grows best in full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade helpful in very hot climates to protect the colorful foliage from stress.
  • Soil: Prefers fertile, humusy, organically rich soil that stays consistently moist while still supporting healthy root growth.
  • Water: Performs best with medium to wet soil and should not be allowed to dry out completely during active warm-season growth.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 7 to 11 in protected conditions, while colder climates should treat it as a seasonal container plant or overwinter the tubers indoors.
  • Mature Size: Typically reaches about 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide in favorable outdoor conditions, with container-grown plants varying by pot size and care.
  • Habit: Forms a compact upright to spreading clump with broad variegated leaves rising from the base on sturdy petioles.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a colorful foliage focal point in large containers, patios, poolside plantings, courtyard beds, tropical-style landscapes, or moist garden areas where its white and pink markings can stand out.
  • Container Planting: Grow in a decorative pot where its compact clumping habit and bright foliage can provide strong color and be moved or protected before cold weather.
  • Moist Garden: Plant in consistently moist beds, rain gardens, or pond-edge settings where its tolerance for wet soil can support strong growth.
  • Tropical Garden: Pair with dark elephant ears, cannas, bananas, caladiums, gingers, coleus, and bright annuals to create a layered warm-season display.
  • Mixed Border: Use in mixed beds where its glossy patterned foliage can add contrast, texture, and tropical color among lower plants.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water regularly during active growth to keep the soil consistently moist, especially in containers and hot summer weather.
  • Mulching: Apply mulch around outdoor plants to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weed competition.
  • Fertilizing: Feed during the active growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support strong foliage production and steady growth.
  • Wind Protection: Site in a sheltered location because strong wind can tear or damage the large ornamental leaves.
  • Overwintering: Lift and store tubers or move containers indoors before frost in climates where the plant is not reliably hardy.
  • Leaf Cleanup: Remove yellowing, torn, or frost-damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking clean and encourage fresh growth.

Why Choose Royal Hawaiian Waikiki Elephant Ear?

  • Colorful Foliage: Displays glossy green leaves with bold white veins and bright pink centers for a distinctive tropical look.
  • Compact Clumping Habit: Offers bold elephant ear impact in a more manageable form for containers, patios, and designed plantings.
  • Moisture Tolerance: Performs well in medium to wet soils, making it useful near ponds, rain gardens, and water features.
  • Fast Warm-Season Growth: Responds quickly to heat, water, and fertility with strong foliage production during the growing season.
  • Container Friendly: Works well in patio pots where it can be featured outdoors in summer and protected before frost.

Royal Hawaiian Waikiki Elephant Ear is an excellent choice for gardeners who want tropical foliage with bright color, compact growth, and strong seasonal impact. Its glossy green leaves, white veining, pink centers, clumping habit, and love of moisture make it a standout plant for containers, patios, moist garden beds, and colorful warm-season landscape designs.

Creepy Little Chicken Feet… But My Dog Is Obsessed
Creepy Little Chicken Feet… But My Dog Is Obsessed I am not even going to lie, when I first opened these WOWBALA dog toys, I had to pause for a second because why do they look like actual little chicken feet? 😂 They are definitely a little creepy at first glance, but apparently my dog does not share my human judgment because she went absolutely crazy over them. These come as a 2-pack, and they have a bacon scent that is very much not for me, but clearly made perfect sense to her. The second she got one, it became her new prized possession. She carried it around, chewed on it nonstop, and I am pretty sure she even tried to hide it somewhere in the backyard like she had discovered buried treasure. What impressed me most is how well these hold up. My dog is not gentle with toys at all. She chews like she has a full-time demolition job, and somehow these still look basically new from a normal glance. Up close, yes, you can see where she has been working on it, but it has not broken apart, shredded, or left those annoying little toy pieces all over the floor. If you have ever bought a chew toy that turns into confetti within 20 minutes, you already know why that matters. The nylon feels solid and heavy-duty, and I like that it is made with safe, non-toxic material since this is something she keeps in her mouth for long periods of time. It also keeps her busy, which is a huge win because bored dogs will find their own entertainment, and usually it is something expensive or inconvenient. So yes, the chicken feet design is a little weird. Yes, the bacon smell is definitely for the dog and not the humans. But my dog is obsessed, it keeps her entertained, and it survives her chewing like a champ. That makes this a solid win in my house.

aggressive chewer approved!
So far my German Shepherd–Husky mix is obsessed with these. He’s about 75 lbs and usually destroys nylon toys within a day, but these have held up really well. After several long chewing sessions, there are only minimal bite marks — enough to show he’s using it, but not so soft that pieces are coming off. That’s a good balance for him since some toys are way too hard and others are way too easy to shred. The chicken‑foot shape is actually perfect for him. The “fingers” or claws give him different angles to grip, and he switches between holding it with his paws and chewing the ends. The curved design makes it easy for him to pick up and reposition without getting frustrated. Material‑wise, the nylon feels solid and safe. No sharp edges, no flaking, and no weird smell beyond the light milky scent they mention. For a dog that chews aggressively when he’s bored or anxious, this has kept him busy without me worrying about pieces breaking off. Overall, great size, great durability, and a fun shape that keeps my big guy engaged. Definitely a win for heavy chewers.

Indestructible as far as I can tell! Just wish there were more to it to catch my dog's attention!
I don't really care for these toys very much. While they most definitely are what I would consider indestructible, they just don't seem to be very pleasant at all for my dogs to play with. Don't get me wrong, I love the indestructible dynamic with these toys. The thing that I don't like is that they're just extremely hard nylon, which I always pictured nylon to be what the dog's collar is made out of, not this brick hard plastic. But I guess it's nylon that has been melted down and allowed to cool and harden, because what I thought these toys were made out of, was just some sort of extremely hard plastic. I have hunting dogs, there beagles and basset hounds and bloodhounds, that are all medium sized dogs, and they're not extremely aggressive chewers to begin with. They are fairly well ready to go when it comes to their teeth and chewing on things, but I would consider them closer to medium on the aggressive chewing scale. And their mouths are not nearly as big or strong as some of your bigger tougher breeds. But, they just seem to get real bored with these toys, really fast. And I'm sure that it's because they don't have any squeaks, they don't have any multiple textures or sounds that they make. It's just the one chicken foot shaped piece of extremely hard plastic. I guess my dogs are accustomed to having toys that have a squeak inside that they can look for, or some of that rustling paper stuff that they can make noise with, or something with various textures like a rope or some rubber or just something different besides stick of really hard plastic. I guess these toys are probably ideal for your larger, tougher breeds that tear up those more versatile types of toys in less than a day. But I just wish that there was a little something more to it than a stick of hard plastic that's shaped like a chicken foot. In my opinion the asking price for these toys is just not really worth it! I would not recommend this product to my friends and family!!
