Search for Musa 'Siam Ruby' and you will see lots of information.

Colocasia 'Pink China' is reputed to be hardy to zone 6. I and some fellow members of our local garden club will be trialing it this winter, both with and without protection. I've tried to winter over many other varieties, all without success in my zone 7a gardens.
