I am planning a fairly small patio pond that will get some morning sun and filtered afternoon sun, for spring. It will have a pump and filter etc.
Which colocasia would stay fairly small and could take being planted on the pond ledges? I have some larger ones but they get too big. Are there any other small aroids that would fit those requirements as well? Thanks

Need suggestions for dwarf colocasia for small patio pond
Colocasia fallax possibly affinis jenningsii
Affinis goes dormant at times.
Thanks that is a nice looking one. Does it go dormant in the winter? I could take it out of the pond in the winter months.
Mine only goes dormant in winter in a really hard freeze, which for us is about 22F here above you in Gainesville FL. You should be okay with it in Orange Park. I have lots to trade if you are interested. Here is a photo of my front walk leading up to the house, flush pretty much year round with Fallax
GQ, thanks for the info. on fallax in our area. I am still learning what is good for this zone since we haven't lived here that long. Yours look really lush and happy.
They keep expanding their range every year, which I am happy for because the previous owner of this house saw dwarf monkey grass as the answer-all to every landscape situation and question. That and rock ferns. I have had to do some..ahem...overhauling
