This is a large type of Colocasia is a larger hybrid variety with three to four feet long leaves and mature height of six to eight feet. Leaves are greenish with a purple hue. The undersides are purple. Leaves reach upwards and get to six or eight feet tall. It tolerates half day sun on the coast. Limit water during winter as plants go into decline then but usually come back (if not over-watered) in the spring.
