Good to know. Thanks!

Nice, I will have to get me one!

I'm glad to hear that, I have a Pink china I just ordered and received. I was wondering how true it was as zone 6 hardy. I also have Musa basjoo. I know they need mulched generously, does Pink china need a bunch of mulch also? I mean more than a couple inches worth, like 4-6 inches.

Rusty blackhaw, did your pink china come up again after this past winter?

I also wonder if the plant is in full sun or partial sun? And do you water it alot, and/or is it in a boggy area? I have heard that it is a bog lover, and also that it should'nt be kept too moist. So I wonder which is correct. Anyone can answer this that knows the answer.

I'm in zone 6 Pa and mine is in its third summer. It is planted in a very dry area in full sun. Gets watered about once a week, if I remember, and has multiplied to around 15 plants. It sends out runners that form tubers at the ends that root. I have cut off three in the past week and potted them up with the tip just showing at the top of the soil. I want to see how quickly they root and start leafing out. Great plant, not near as large as regular elephant ears, but it's nice not to have to worry about bringing it in for the winter. Oh, by the way, it is planted next to my basjoo clump which is about 15 years old!

Really good to hear, I have several of the Pink China, and am getting babies off my Musa Basjoo. I had planted the corms of the Pink China and several sprouted late, so I got impatient and ordered more, so now I have many Pink China's growing. I will just have to dig up my Cannas, and move in my potted Ensete, along with my potted Pineapple lily. I will likely try and buy those 3 Elephant ears mentioned related to "Pink China", in the spring next year. I wonder if there are pics on the internet of them? Or does anyone have any pics to post?
