If you're confused with "Alocasia African Mask" aka Alocasia amazonica then of course they aren't hardy...
Richard how big were your "Mayan Masks"?

Never grown it. I have:
Colocasia esculenta 'Midori Sour'
Colocasia esculenta 'Blue Hawaii'
Another cultivar is arriving next week. Keep in mind, I choose mine for the taste of the corm, not the appearance of the foliage.

Yes, my customers typically plant them out in raised beds - for example, along side their
Daikon,
Parsnips, etc.

I know of 3 farmers who grow them several acres at a time. They will harvest the plants whole in the mid-summer and sell them at Farmers Markets and to local produce markets as well.
