Re: Cold Tolerant Amporhs

Neil,

The plant in your photograph is a rather dark petioled form of Am. konjac.

I've found the following species of Amorphophallus to be cold hardy here
in USDA zone 7:

    albus
    henryi
    yuloensis
    dunnii
    symonianus
    yunannensis
    napalensis
    kiusianus
    corrugatus
    muelleri
    konjac
    bulbifer
    krausei
    thaiensis
