Oddly pointed leaves are positioned at the ends of very tall stems on the Teacup Taro. Its name comes from the shape of the leaves, capable of collecting several ounces of water during heavy rainfall! The stems are a dark burgendy color while the leaves remain a glossy green with slight burgendy veining. Teacup Taro is one of the taller verieties of Taro, averaging 5 feet in height during the Summer growing season.
