I named this plant about 5 years ago. The mature leaves cup up to hold water. I have found it to be very hardy even here in zone 6
Colocasia big dipper.
Still my favorite EE after 4 years.
Also the most agressive. (Ask our Round-up members)
Grows equally well in water, pots or in the ground.
Full sun, partial sun and Toad Lily sun.
Until this year I didn't know it was hardy here.
A true Winner!
