Maui Gold Elephant Ear (Colocasia esculenta 'Maui Gold')
Maui Gold Elephant Ear is a bright tropical foliage plant valued for its chartreuse to golden yellow leaves, bold texture, and strong warm-season growth. Its large heart-shaped foliage brings a lighter, more colorful look to patios, poolside plantings, large containers, moist garden beds, and tropical-style landscapes. This selection is especially useful for adding contrast against dark foliage, deep green plantings, and brightly colored annuals. With warmth, rich soil, steady moisture, and sun to partial shade, Maui Gold Elephant Ear creates a lush, high-impact display in indoor and outdoor spaces.
Distinctive Features
Maui Gold Elephant Ear produces large chartreuse to golden yellow leaves that brighten the landscape and stand out from darker green or purple foliage plants. The foliage is typically broad, heart-shaped, and held on sturdy petioles, creating the bold texture associated with Colocasia. Color is often strongest in bright light when moisture is consistent, while afternoon shade can help protect the foliage in very hot locations. Flowers may appear occasionally as a spathe and spadix, but this plant is grown primarily for its colorful foliage, tropical texture, and warm-season presence.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Grows best in full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade helpful in very hot climates to protect the bright foliage from scorch.
- Soil: Prefers fertile, humusy, organically rich soil that stays consistently moist while still supporting healthy root growth.
- Water: Performs best with regular moisture during active growth and should not be allowed to dry out completely in warm weather.
- USDA Zones: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 8 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 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide in favorable outdoor conditions, while container-grown plants may stay smaller.
- Habit: Forms an upright to spreading clump with broad golden foliage rising from the base on sturdy petioles.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use as a bright foliage focal point in large containers, patios, poolside plantings, courtyard beds, tropical-style landscapes, or moist garden areas where its golden leaves can stand out.
- Container Planting: Grow in a large decorative pot where its chartreuse to gold 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 love of moisture can support strong growth.
- Tropical Garden: Pair with cannas, bananas, caladiums, gingers, coleus, and dark-leaved elephant ears to create a lush warm-season display.
- Mixed Border: Use in large mixed beds where its bright foliage can add contrast, texture, and tropical scale behind 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 large foliage and vigorous 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 Maui Gold Elephant Ear?
- Golden Foliage: Displays large chartreuse to golden yellow leaves that brighten containers, patios, and tropical-style garden beds.
- Bold Texture: Produces broad heart-shaped foliage that brings tropical scale and lush structure to warm-season plantings.
- Color Contrast: Pairs beautifully with dark elephant ears, purple foliage, deep green plants, and brightly colored annuals.
- Fast Warm-Season Growth: Responds quickly to heat, water, and fertility with strong foliage production during the growing season.
- Container Friendly: Works well in large patio pots where it can be featured outdoors in summer and protected before frost.

Do not trust sizing or measuents
Color: Black, Size: 32W x 30L
Sizing way off. Can barely fit on and no where close to buttoning. Same pant measurements in another pant bought at the same time no problem. Sizing and measurements off.

real leather, comfortable, size up 1/2 size to avoid the breaking in process, its beautifully made!
Size: 10.5, Color: Medium Natural Nubuck
They fit perfectly. They are the best pair of shoes My husband's ever wore! the smell of that new leather is incredible. It is real leather, not imitation leather. It's a little tight across the top portion of his foot right before his toes start, but I believe that can be stretched out, they just have to be broken in. they are so classy and snazzy. The front of the toe part is a little darker than the rest. But it Kind of blends in fades into the rest of the leather. It will scratch easily. So you have to be careful, it's real leather. It's soft but not like felt soft and its shiny. This is the kind of shoe you actually need The old school shoe Polish in a buffer cloth. I didn't think that we would like or he would like the white soul but it does not look bad like I thought it would be. It does not stand out. It blends right in perfectly with the shoe. Any of their color would have not matched. If you're on the fence about this nice dress, you don't be. this name Shoe actually lives up to its reputation. It was incredible and no, I'm not just saying that. if it sucked, I would say so. it's a great shoe in every way. It has a cushioned soft leather insole. It's a little thinner piece of velour feeling leather In the instep. It is such a great shoe definitely worth the purchase. The size does fit. He wears a 10 and a 1/2. That's what we got, and that fits perfectly. I think he could have gotten 11 and got away with it, so he wouldn't have to break the top portion in. But there's plenty of toe room, it's just where your outer edge of your foot an the bone, right before your big toe, so like I said, right across the widest portion of your foot needs to be stretched out broken in. once he breaks that in the shoe fits perfectly. so you can size up half a size you probably can get away with it, just fine God bless!

High quality comfortable shoes from Rockport
Size: 13 Wide, Color: Grey Nubuck, Size: 13 Wide, Color: Grey Nubuck
I've been a fan of Rockport shoes since buying my first pair in the 1980's. I actually still have that pair and had them resoled once.
This shoe has the style and profile of a dress shoe but is finished in a nice smooth suede-like grey color. Typical of Rockport shoes, they are flexible and lightweight. The upper is genuine leather, something getting harder to find in reasonably priced quality shoes. That should make these more durable than artificial leather.
The insole is sculpted and soft with just a bit of memory foam padding with good arch support. They are removable and I assume replaceable.
The soles are flexible and grippy, and the heel is low and comfortable. I ordered my usual size, 13W and they fit well, just a tiny bit tight on the top where they lace if wearing thick socks until they stretch a bit. Due to the shape of the toe box they look a little long, but there is plenty of toe space.
These were very comfortable, true to size, well made and very nice looking shoes. I expect them to be durable and last a long time as all of my other Rockport shoes have in the past. These would look great with jeans or khaki's or even with more dressy clothing, they can be casual or dressy. Even though these are well made and genuine leather with Rockport's reputation for comfort and quality they cost less than many sneakers.

Rockport makes great shoe wear
Size: 11.5 Wide, Color: Dark Taupe Suede
I have owned Rockport shoes before and this pair lives up to the brand’s reputation for comfort. Right out of the box they felt broken in with very little adjustment period. The genuine leather upper looks nice and gives the shoe a more polished appearance than many casual options while still being comfortable enough for daily wear. The cushioning is one of the strongest features. The truTECH system does a good job absorbing impact and provides noticeable comfort during long days on my feet. The removable insoles add versatility and make it easy to customize the fit or use orthotics if needed. The quality appears very good with clean stitching and solid construction throughout. The leather feels durable and should age well with normal use. Ease of use is excellent since they slip on easily and require very little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning and conditioning. Size was accurate for me and the availability of different widths is a major advantage. Compatibility with different foot shapes is often overlooked but Rockport does a good job here. Value for money is strong considering the comfort quality and durability. Overall these are comfortable well-made shoes that work equally well for the office casual outings or everyday wear.
