Colocasia ID?

Post by tumidinoda »

Dear forum members,
on my holiday at the lovely Lago Magiore I saw this nice Colocasia on Isola Madre.
Could you please help me to identify this plant?
Thank you
Robert

I think It is Colocasis Fontanesii.

Hi tumidinoda, and welcome icon_salut

Yes this is Colocasia Fontanesii, which is quite tough in cold tolerance and one of the larger ones, reaching 7ft (2.2m) in warmth. They all need lots of water to grow best.
Best regards
Dave
