This stunning plant features thin, spindly stems that allow its enormous, lush leaves to spread wide in an elegant arc, gracefully hanging above the center. Its unique growth habit makes it a fantastic choice for creating striking planting combinations—let the impressive leaves drape over lower-growing plants for a truly dramatic effect. While Heart of the Jungle® is stunning when planted alone, it’s versatile enough to stand out in any garden setting. An award-winning beauty, this tropical gem thrives as an annual in most zones, but in warmer climates (zones 8 through 11), it can act as a perennial, bringing lasting elegance year after year. Perfect for adding a touch of grandeur to any landscape, Heart of the Jungle® will have your garden feeling like a lush, tropical paradise.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e36-60 inches tall and 30-60 inches wide at maturity\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAnnual except in zones 8-11, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlant in full sun to part sun (6+ to 4 hours daily)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSpace plants 36-60 inches apart for best results\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains dark green, heart-shaped leaves with burgundy veins and stems from spring to first frost\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for containers, combinations, planters, landscapes, focal points\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFoliage interest, heat tolerant, deadheading not necessary, water plant\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/article\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis highly sought-after container size for annuals provides immediate impact upon planting because they are grown in a larger container.

Drought stress will negatively affect the appearance of the plant. Colocasia form tubers and these tubers can be stored for replanting in the spring. To dig and store tubers follow these directions. First, allow frost to kill the top of the plant then cut back the stems and dig the tubers. Wash off any soil and then allow the tubers to dry. Wrap dry tubers in newspapers or pack them in peat moss. Label each tuber or group of tubers so you know what they are come spring. Store tubers in a dark, cool (35 to 45 F) place. Do not allow tubers to freeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the Humane Society of America, Colocasia plants can be toxic to pets.
