The Alocasia cuculatta is a dwarf ele ear. It gets about 5 ft. high by 4 ft.wide. I don't have a nice photo of it fully grown, but the attached photos of it will help. Here in zone 8a it dies down to the ground and comes up fairly early in the spring. It is very dependable on returning even when neglected. It likes some sun, but will grow in shade. The leaves get up to 12" wide. It is a beautiful green plant with elf hat shaped leaves.
