Anelle - I'm not sure on the hardiness of the Colocasia Black Magic but I can
tell you that it does very well if dug up and potted for the winter. Keeping
it on the dry side and relatively warm....maybe a garage. It will probably
start to sprout earlier in the spring this way too - that is if you don't
mind bringing it in and out for those Spring cold snaps. When the threat of
freezing temps are over simply put it back in the ground....it is a beauty!!!!
