I got this plant about 8 years ago from a friend in china. Aparently off a mountain were it got cold regularly. The first year I treated it much like my other Colocasias. Dug it up and put it up for the winter. The next spring I had pups of it everywhere. So I decided I should test if for hardiness. It's been at least 7 years now and I have to say that it is the hardiest tropical plant I have come across. I had a friend test it in Ohio with great luck. It's now being looked at by a few companies to mass produce as a hardy EE. For zone6 and possible 5. I have only had one problem with the plant so far. That is its a weed.
