MY zone is 8a far from being hardy but i do have a nice green house to keep it. I have known about them for a while because Alocasia and amorphophallus are my favorite plants along with any other tropical plant. A few years ago it seemed like the only Robusta you could buy is a tiny little 8in. start and they costed any where from $45-$75. sadly i bought one:( it was shipped bare root with one leaf and died a few days later, but Natural Selections has really nice size ones for $30. thats where i got mine and it is doing awesome! Although i would have to advise to research it first because i know that people say they are difficult to take care of especially in the winter. so it would have to stay very warm.
