Monumental growth in one season; you can get these plants now

With their large size, tropical plants such as Alocasia ‘Regal Shields’ can add drama to your landscape. Get a small plant now, like the one at left, and treat it like a houseplant until the weather is warm enough to place the plant outside. By the end of summer your plant could have leaves that are 16 inches long, like the plant at right. Mischler’s Florist and Greenhouses will sell these at Plantasia.
