Taro For CookingTaro or sometimes called elephant ears, are native to the tropics of Asia. There are more than 300 varieties that are grown in the U.S., especially in Hawaii. They are also grown for a food crop, since all their plant parts can be eaten. You can cook the stems, leaves and flowers while they are young and eat as a vegetable. The leaves are often used to wrap other food with and then steamed.
Accent a Water GardenTo us ponders we simply love the look and gracefulness of the Taro. It can add a dramatic accent to your pond or container garden. Taros are quite often used as a plant for a container planting. They can tolerate full sun but they prefer to be protected from the afternoon sun. They need to be fertilized regularly and planted in large pots to grow them to their maximum size. You’ll have larger leaves and larger plants. Planting zones are 9-11 and require moist soil or water to 6 inches deep.
