Colocasia ‘Sangria’
This beautiful, tall elephant ear sports vibrant pink to dark red petioles holding bluish green leaves with purple veins that branch throughout the blade. Hardy as low as 6b (Oh my!), it makes a great tropical statement in the garden or in containers in evenly moist soil and full sun. It can also be grown as a marginal plant in ponds. Yellowish-white spathes and spadixes may appear in summer but are usually hidden by the foliage. Mulch in winter. If in a container, put it in a shed or garage.
