Notes
'Sangria' taro (Colocasia esculenta 'Sangria') 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 rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Calla lily, Vermillionaire cuphea, and Lemongrass.
