Colocasia esculenta "Burgandy stem"
I obtained
this from Plant Delights Nursery in June,
1997. It came with a small offset which I planted in a lily pond. The one in
the lily pond has a grown 2-3 leaves at a time and has maxed out at roughly 5"
leaves. The one planted in soil currently has 20 inch leaves and will probably be
considerably larger before I have to bring it in for the winter. That's not bad for
a small tuber in its first year. The underplanting is Caladium "white
queen".
