We are getting snow... again! Areas south of DC (such as I) are expecting 10+ inches! Uuugghhhh!!!
Holly... I have been growing EEs for a number of years now on my balcony. Until the past two years, I just grew the regular Colocasia Esculenta... but I feed the heck out of them with MG and they grow monstrous! Neighbors always exclaim about the "Ears" hanging over the edge of our balcony. This past summer, I added a number of varieties. I grew the regular C. Esculenta and C. Esculenta 'Black Magic', 'Black Jungle', 'Coffee Cups', 'Illustris', and my new favorites... 'Elapao' and 'Mojoito'. I also grew 'Lime Zinger' which is a Xanthosoma, and 'Hilo Beauty' whicj is an Alocasia. I added at the very end of the summer Alocasia varigata. They are wintering in the bedroom and look pretty ratty so I don't know yet what will survive.
This is 'Elapao'
