Alocasia sumo is a hybrid species – a cross between A. portora and “purple cloak”. The cold hardiness comes from the portora parentage. This is a medium sized hybrid with 3 to 4 foot long leaves that are diamond shaped with a purple hue to the underside of the leaves. Leaves point upwards. There are prominent veins on the leaves. Plant height should be about 6 to 8 feet. It is reported that this species is a “7b” zone species which means it should tolerate a freeze. Obviously, it’d look best in summer. We’d recommend limited sun although some are growing it in full coastal sun. The size on sale are nice one gallon plants.
These can be shipped by mail order. I’m showing with the the first 5 photos this 1 gallon size on sale. Photos were taken last month. Plants are presently larger than shown here. Following are some larger nursery plants. |
