Aloha Elephant Ear (Colocasia esculenta 'Aloha') brings the drama of the tropics to your garden with bold, oversized leaves that instantly transform any space into a lush paradise. This stunning cultivar produces glossy green foliage that can reach 2 feet long, held on sturdy stems that create a dense, architectural clump. Whether you're looking to add tropical flair to a shaded border, create a statement in a container, or accent a water feature, Aloha delivers fast-growing impact from late spring through fall.

Tropical Beauty That Thrives in Moisture

Colocasia species are native to wetland areas of Asia and have been cultivated for thousands of years for their edible corms (the well-known taro). The 'Aloha' cultivar brings that same vigorous growth habit to the ornamental garden, with foliage that emerges fresh and glossy throughout the season. The leaves naturally shed water in sheets, a fascinating adaptation that keeps the plant healthy in rainy conditions. In warm climates, you may even see the plant produce cream-colored spathes that resemble calla lilies, though the real show is the foliage.

Versatile Garden Uses

Plant Aloha Elephant Ear along pond margins where its roots can access consistent moisture, or use it to anchor mixed containers where its bold leaves contrast beautifully with fine-textured annuals. The plant works equally well in shaded woodland gardens, tropical-themed borders, or as a specimen in large decorative pots flanking entryways. In zones 8-11, plants will return reliably each spring once established. In cooler zones, grow as an annual or dig the corms in fall and store them indoors like dahlias.

Low-Maintenance Tropical Impact

Once established with consistent moisture, Aloha Elephant Ear practically grows itself. The fast growth rate means you'll see substantial size within weeks of planting, and the plants continue to produce new leaves throughout the summer. Deer and rabbits typically avoid the foliage due to calcium oxalate crystals in the leaves. The plant's water-loving nature makes it forgiving in areas where other tropicals might struggle with humidity or occasional overwatering.

This is the plant that makes neighbors stop and ask questions. The sheer size and exotic appearance of elephant ear foliage creates a focal point that anchors garden beds and containers with bold, confident style.

Think of racism as a moral failing isn’t helpful. Instead, think of it as a trauma response.
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
If we are willing to stop and listen to the voices of these people, both in the streets and in their writings (for generations now), we will hear them tell us their experience. And their experience is horrific. Some of us will turn away, finding solace in justifications (“He should have complied!”) or distancing (“My family was poor too. None of my family owned slaves.”) But if we care about a sustainable future for our country, if we have the smallest shred of a sense of responsibility for our neighbor, or if (like me) we claim to follow Jesus, the one who taught us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to put other people’s lives before our own, then we must listen. In My Grandmother’s Hands, Resmaa Menakem comes to this conversation from a different and very helpful angle. He suggests that three groups are clashing in our country today: black-bodied people, white-bodied people and police. He suggests that the animus, reactivity, and often explosive violence between these groups is in fact the result of unprocessed trauma. He digs deep into the story of each of these groups to demonstrate the primary and secondary trauma each group carries. Then he talks about the process of trauma retention and how, if we fail to understand and process our trauma, we inevitably become less flexible, more reactive, and more violent. He suggests that the solution to our problem is not solely in education, awareness or even new policies, but in becoming more aware of our bodies, learning how to handle and process trauma, and becoming more resilient in our interactions with other traumatized people. This is the first book about racial injustice that I’ve read where I finished feeling like I could actually make a difference. I’m not a policy maker. I’m not able to be a regular front-line activist. I don’t have piles of money to spend at Black-owned businesses. It’s easy to feel like my small contribution can’t possibly make a real difference. But Menakem suggests a path that any one of us can walk--coming to terms with our own experience of racialized trauma -- and this will open up the path for other ways we can be a part of creating a more just, compassionate, and equal society.

Enlightening, transformative, maybe even life-changing
Format: Paperback
I would have to say that this is an interactive book. As I was reading this with a group, reading one or two chapters at a time, it was possible to do all the exercises. I did not do them all, but must say it was an eye-opening experience. The basis premise of the book is that we carry trauma in our bodies, and that we respond to issues of race, first and foremost, in our bodies, as a visceral response. And, as so many of our experiences originate early in life, these responses are often immediate and unconscious, and thus, this book requires a great deal of interior work. It's worth every moment of it. I remember clearly, that before I had finished the introduction, I felt rage- actual rage. And for a person who considers herself balanced and rather low-key this was quite astounding. And this rage continued to surface. Let me just say that this book makes you explore unexamined parts of yourself, if you will let it. Expect to feel uncomfortable, and if you push through it, you may be different when you get to the other side...

Don't Forget Grandmother's Feet!
Format: Kindle
A very idealistic approach in dealing with the racial trauma that is very much alive in America. I like the way the author built the narrative based on his grandmother’s unspoken experiences in her life which was exemplified by the condition of her hands (and feet). The author made references to the trauma being in our bodies, which was different. The only issue I had with this book is where the author tried to equate the trauma that White folks experienced in Europe before coming to America with the plight of Black folk that is ongoing. How did White folks overcome their trauma? Prosperity! I believe that there is a correlation between our trauma as Black folk and reparations and why this country is so adamant about not giving us reparations…because it will help to offset our trauma, and they don’t want us healed. However, if they are inclined towards healing, then this book makes some practical suggestions (and exercises) to do so; for Whites, Blacks, and even the PO-lice.

Everyone in the US should read this book, no matter who they are
Format: Paperback
This book is a must read for those of us living in communities struggling with racism. Resmaa Menakem has created a masterpiece of storytelling, restorative justice, awareness raising, and healing. The writing is just excellent, and the clarity with which Menakem lays out the evidence for racism and what to do about is brilliant, and the impact is disturbing, as it should be. The chapter on race and police brutality is a strong example of that, of how black bodies create fear in white bodies. He writes about how people of color sacrifice parts of themselves every day to stay safe, and sometimes they don't succeed. He writes about how this fear of the other is in the body, and it takes a body-centered approach to heal it. We must self confront and stop talking about it; we must feel it, and practice healing approaches. Each chapter has exercises for us to practice to heal ourselves, black and white. He recommends self confrontation as a form of "clean pain," versus the "dirty pain" of avoidance, denial and blame. The examples in the book are so true and riveting. I highly recommend this book, and the practices within. A page turner. I could not put it down.

essential reading for activists and healers alike
Format: Paperback
as a white trauma therapist & somatic practitioner who in my early career worked primarily in Communities of Color, People of Color clients help me realize that I could not support them in healing the root of what they were dealing with if I did not understand the trauma of systemic and intergenerational racism. As an anti-racist educator, after co-facilitating many 2 day trainings and watching most people dissociate the whole time only come back around to repeating courses not remembering most of what we talked about, I was becoming disillusioned with both fields of practice. Resmaa Menakem's book came at just the right time in my journey, and I believe in our movement, to help us bridge the worlds of anti-racism and somatics and carve the path forward to heal our bodies and souls from white supremacy. White folks like myself will be tempted to breeze through this book and teach it to others; We would do well instead to form communities around the practices in here and integrate the deep healing available to us in both the history and somatics Resmaa offers us. This is truly one of our sacred movement texts on the path to Collective Liberation. For healers: This is the tool for healing the racism at the root of our trauma and disembodiment. For activists: This is the tool for healing the internalized racial oppression that busts up our movements. -- kelly germaine strickland, msw, lisw
