Notes
'Island Giants Coffee Cups' taro (Colocasia esculta 'Island Giants Coffee Cups') is an annual for specimen plantings, accents, and rain gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy or clay soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows in a clump at a moderate pace.
Pairs well with Ostrich fern, Bells of Ireland, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
