Cincinnati, OH (Zone 6b) | September 2004 | positive
A pretty marbled matte green leaf
w/ a stem colored just like rhubarb.
We grow this one in a raised Water Containe...Read Morer to show off the stems.
It is easily lost among 'Violet Stem' or 'Burgundy Stem', so give it a showplace on it's own.
Unlike most sport Colocasia esculenta this one does form tubers rather easily.
We treat it as a house plant when it goes in come Winter.
We pull it from the Water Container in late Fall and allow to get slightly dry.
Then grow under lights w/ regular watering.
I haven't tried storing tubers, like the straight EE species plant, but don't see why that wouldn't work.
