Colocasia Sangrina

---

Colocasia Sangrina is a new introduction from Brian’s Botanicals. We have been breeding these colocasias for cold hardiness and more dramatic colors. Sangrina has bright red to pink stems with dark green leaves and blue to purple veins. It can grow up to 3 to 5 feet tall.

This plant has over wintered for 3 years in zone 6, Kentucky. I recommend growing it full sun, well drained area and only mature or well established plants should be left out for the winter cold. Adding mulch in colder climates can add to a vigorous show in spring. If you are growing basjoo, this plant will acts exactly the same way and adds tropical color to the landscape.
