This 2011 Plant Delights Nursery introduction is a solid gold leaf sport from Alan Galloway's Colocasia 'Limeade'. Although similar to Colocasia 'Elena' in color, Colocasia 'Lemonade' has proven to be far superior in our winter hardiness trials. Despite our record-setting hot summers, the massive 7' clumps of Colocasia 'Lemonade' looked great in full sun...as long as the soil remained moist.

Of all my Colocasia, these gave me the most trouble last summer (Los Angeles). I had them in a part-sun planter with auto drip system. They grew very fast from 3" to 5' with loads of runners, but leaves very quickly turned yellow and died off, leaving me a little dissatisfied. Trying again this summer with full sun and more attention to water needs.

Make sure to plant this in the ground, because it gets rootbound very quickly; not my favorite Colocasia.
