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.

Very nice pillowcases
Color: Haze Blue, Size: 2 Pack Standard(20"X 26")
Very pretty pillowcases. I washed them in cold water and dried them on low before using. They came out a little wrinkly but smoothed out on the pillow. The fabric is shiny and rich looking. It's not hot yet, here in Texas, but I am anticipating the coolness of these pillowcases to feel very nice. I appreciate the envelope closure. It gives it a finished look. There was no odd odor. They feel good like they'll last for a long time. I am a satisfied customer.

I ordered the body pillow covers. They fit my pillow perfectly and the fabric is smooth and silky, but I did not find them cooling.

Cooling King-Size Pillows (used on a Queen pillows to tuck the extra in)
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 2 Pack King(20"X 36"), Color: Navy Blue, Size: 2 Pack King(20"X 36")
🛏️ Product Review: Cooling King-Size Pillows (used on a Queen bed) ⭐ The Good • These are king-size pillows, which I actually love on a queen bed because I can tuck the ends into the fabric. • The fabric feels slick and cool, but you don’t slip off of it. • They feel cold to the touch right out of the package (which is wild). • I sleep extremely hot and even run fevers at night due to a medical condition (literally 101–102° sometimes), and these pillows still stay cool where I lay my head. • I’ve honestly never slept this well in my life. • For the price, you cannot beat them, and they go on sale often. • These beat any high-end version I’ve tried. • If you sleep normal-temp and not lava-hot like me, you’re going to be VERY comfortable with these. ⚠️ The Bad • The fabric does show crease lines. • If wrinkles bother you, this might annoy you (doesn’t bother me personally). 🔧 What I’d Change / Tips for Care • Don’t use fabric softener — it clogs the cooling fabric and ruins how it works. • Wash with unscented detergent + a little vinegar. • Dry on low heat only (do NOT dry on high if you want the fabric to keep working long-term). ✅ Final Thoughts I will literally never not own these again. If you sleep hot, night-sweat, or just want a pillow that actually stays cool — these are it. 10/10 recommend.

Love it but it stains
Color: Haze Blue, Size: 2 Pack Standard(20"X 26")
I love these but had to knock some stars down for a single reason. They are soft, the material is somehow both substantial and airy at the same time, and a smooth, silky (not satin), cozy texture. The color was exactly as pictured. The envelope style works great to keep my pillows covered. The fabric lays perfectly. I love sleeping on this pillow case. Took two stars off because every single atom of oil on my face stained it immediately and won't come out in the wash. Its not subtle. You can see anywhere my face has been, forever. I don't have some incredibly oily face or hair, I've never had this happen to another pillow case in my life.
