Colocasia esculenta Lemonade Muhlenbergia hybrid lenten roses are seed-grownThis 2011 Plant Delights JLBG 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.
