This cultivar was purchased from Aristarts and according to this seller, it is hardy 7b. Hummm, I'll try growing mine in the ground since it is semi-aquatic it may even do well around my pond margin..

Hilo beauty also does great in Hilo...a zone 11. This is one of the best Alocasias I have grown in Thousand Oaks, California, a notoriously unfriendly climate for this genus (too hot and dry).

I wish to add something to the zones listed for the Alocasia Hilo Beauty. I live in zone 8, about 90 airline miles above the Gulf of Mexico. The Hilo Beauty grows great here and has multiplied in my yard. It comes back every spring just like my Elephant Ears. This summer, I have 3 blooms on it.

This variety has exceptionally beautiful foliage. It seems to be more content growing in containers inside the house better than the unimproved species.
