Notes
Royal Hawaiian Maui Gold taro (Colocasia esculenta Royal Hawaiian Maui Gold) 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. It grows in a clump at a moderate pace. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Calla lily, Mexican petunia, and Labyrinth dahlia.
