can be very expensive Sunshine. I am working on replacing some I lost last year. Most all I have are named ee's. Keep looking at different sites to get better prices.

which one you have. Take a look at the site below under Alocasias and Colocasias and see if yours is there. I live in Zone 9 and don't dig mine. Most are hardy to Zone 7-11, but I lost some in pots last year. We had a freeze at Easter and they were in clay pots. Most likey the rhizomes froze. If you leave them in the ground, make sure you mulch them heavily. http://www.centralfloridafarms.com/alocasias.htm
