A beautiful alocasia, can get quite large. The specimen in my photo is about 36" tall. Grows in zone 8B/9A outdoors. Goes down in frost, comes back.

One of the most striking Alocasia sp. in my opinion. The stalks are marked with patterns.

This plant does not like to be transplanted or moved around alot; the outer leaves turn yellow, but the whole plant will soon recover.

Grows well in pots.
