Notes
Royal Hawaiian Tropical Storm taro (Colocasia esculenta Royal Hawaiian Tropical Storm) is an annual for specimen, accent, and rain garden plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. 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 Calla lily, Lemongrass, Totally Tangerine dahlia, and Vermillionaire cuphea.
