Fast-growing aroid with deep purple textured leaves. We've grown similar varieties before in Pennsylvania, but here in Texas we can actually expect to keep the plant alive through winter. I got this specimen for the pond, where it adds nice contrast to the many spikey plants and the greens of the lilypads.
