Looking for cold-hardy alocasias
For ading some other big leaves plants to my Bananas garden am looking for Alocasia macrorhiza 'Lutea' and Alocasia macrorhiza 'Black Stem' and A. cucullata. Also for any other cold-hardy Alocasia to zone 9a (mediterranean climate) I also have regular A. macrorhiza, A. gageana and A. calidora.
Any suggestion? Last edited by barna : 07-15-2007 at 05:57 PM. |

Re: Looking for cold-hardy alocasias
Some alocasia experts here:
Alocasia sp. 'Golden' I think steelviper is big into them as well unless I'm confusing him with someone else. Hopefully someone who knows will chime in for you, Barna.

Re: Looking for cold-hardy alocasias

Its supposed to be cold hardy some what.And they get huge!!! I also have a Dewey's Reversa on the way. YES!!!! i've been waiting a long time to get this one.

Re: Looking for cold-hardy alocasias
Hello, I am brand new here and just looking around and getting to know where things are here. What zone are you in? I have Alocasia Sarawakensis and Alocasia Borneo Giant. Both of these are growing nicely here in z8. Borneo Giant is really rated for z9 but I have had one in the ground here for three years at z8 and it has been doing very well. I have several nicely rooted ones at about one foot tall. The same goes for the Sarawakensis.
