Hi Dave welcome.

I to have had little success with colocasia! Then I remembered what Andy Cap used to say " If at first you don't succeed pack it in and don't be a Charlie". That works for me every time.

Hi BHD, welcome to the forum.

Hi James,

How soon do you want them, the first three were available at the spring show in Malvern last year. Not a million miles from you if you can wait that long. Pan Global which is even closer to you, just up the M5 would also be worth a look.

I have a small 'Ice Crystal' that I am expecting great things from in the future! Although bought for its foliage, does any one know if it fruits well?

Regards Jas.
