- Also
called Big Dipper -
Cold Hardy! Here is a
very
unusual plant in the colocasia esculenta family. It is said to reach
over 6 ft tall and leaves just like pictured about 1.5-2 feet long and
proportionally as wide. They are cupped upward as if they are soaking in
the sun and will collect water to hold a little in the leaves. The stems are deep burgundy/purple
in color almost black and the leaves are dark dark purple similar to a black
magic color. They curve up to even hold water pointing at a 45 degree angle.
This plant loves the moist soil like the rest of its family and will soak up the
sun if provided a good supply of water. Other than being very oddly leafed, this
one will enjoy the same conditions as the rest of the esculenta varieties do and
give much pleasure to those who get to enjoy their contrast and strange leaf
shape. A VERY easy to grow plant that I have to say is fool proof for any
gardener. After they are established they will reward you with multiple babies
that form from the base. they do not produce runners so they are clumping and
really stand out when cared just a little. They are extremely cold hardy to at
least 22ºF. Leaves will be scorched but they will be among the first to grow
back during any warm spell. Two Plants, ONE PRICE!
