Description

***Description for this plant available with future update!***>>>>> Plant Delights Nursery says "Colocasia esculenta 'Jack's Giant' is a plant that we received from Jack de Vroomen of Marlboro Bulb Company, who brought this to us from Costa Rica. The tuber was much larger and shaped differently from other Colocasia esculenta forms we had grown. In our garden, the plants easily reached 7' tall, even in a very dry section, with medium green leaves similar to typical Colocasia esculenta. We are pretty sure it is a triploid form, which should increase winter hardiness. (Hardiness Zone 7b-10)"
