Notes
'Royal Hawaiian Hawaiian Punch' taro (Colocasia esculenta 'Royal Hawaiian Hawaiian Punch') is an annual for specimen, accent, and rain garden use. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It forms a clumping habit and grows at a moderate rate.
Pairs well with Calla lily, Mexican petunia, and Lemon Grass lemongrass.
