Summer 2009 Our Summer 2009 Catalogue is now CLOSED. Our Spring/Fall Catalogue is Online! Summer 2009 > Bulbs > Genus List > Colocasia > Araceae [Printer Friendly Version] the perfect plant for those who adore pastels an large plants; lovely green leaves with a tiny pink eye and pink stems; stunning; 6'-8'; whz 7b. Native to tropical Asia and Polynesia and considered an evergreen perennial tuberous herb, Colocasia has given us lots of pleasure all summer long with its huge, velvet-like textured, dark green, heart-shaped leaves that are lined with darker veins, adding real drama to the shade garden near our pond. It's also spectacular as a sturdy backdrop for perennials in the flower border, although we suspect in most full sun situations, it will perform better if a soaker hose provides a little constant moisture. Excellent for water gardens when planted in a pot submerged in the pond. Bulb sizes differ depending on variety; plant 18" on center; zones 8-11 (zone 7 in damp soil with mulch) HINT: The height seems to have everything to do with the richness of the soil and the available moisture.
