Their are two forms of Colocasia Gigantea. They both came out of Thailand. The first form which is hardy here if mulched does not get as large as the Giant Thailand strain. Their are a few other major and minor differences. The hardy form and more common form produces pups and suckers easily. It also produces odd growths under the leaves and rarely flowers. The Thailand giant flowers more freely and rarely produces sucker plants. I grow both forms but unless it says giant thailand form it would be the other form which gets around 5 to 6 feet tall with leaves a small 3 to 4 feet.
