Colocasia 'Pink China'

Colocasia 'Pink China', commonly known as pink-stem elephant ear, is a striking marginal perennial with large, arrow-shaped green leaves held on distinctive pink to rose-coloured stems. The contrast between the bold foliage and coloured stems gives the plant strong ornamental impact, making it a standout feature in ponds, bog gardens, and exotic borders.

This cultivar thrives in consistently moist soil or shallow water and offers ecological value by providing shelter for insects and other pond-edge wildlife. Its vigorous habit, combined with greater cool tolerance than many Colocasia, makes it well suited to UK pond margins and summer planting schemes.
