Xanthosoma Atroverins
AKA Blue Giant
I named this for years ago. Their are tons of forms of Atroverins this form seemed to have a darker blue leaf. At the time I had grown them to around 7 feet tall. But the last few years I found it very hard to get them going. They love the heat and humidity. They produce huge tubers and can grow to over 9 feet if in a good area possibly larger. I have never seen them this large up north.
