~ Mojito
Colocasia esculenta
If you’re looking to add another wild and crazy elephant ear to your garden, drink up. (pronounced “Mo-he-toe”) Named after the popular Cuban mixed drink. You must grow this plant—if only to be able to tell everyone that you have a mojito waiting for them in the garden. Its green leaves are set off by dark flecks and purple stems. The speckled patterns, splotches, and streaks vary from leaf to leaf, so no two ever look quite the same. ‘Mojito’ makes a thrilling addition to perennial beds, where its exotic form and color will add more surprise and interest than any other shrub or perennial you might have considered putting in its place.
