Alocasia brisbanensis
Alocasia bring bold tropical drama to sheltered garden positions. Large, arrow-shaped leaves with prominent veining create a lush understorey effect. Well-suited to subtropical and tropical landscapes, water features, and shaded courtyard settings.
Site & establishment. Native to tropical conditions; best in frost-free, humid sites. Tolerates shade — useful in eastern aspects, courtyards, and sites overhung by larger canopy. Bold foliage carries the visual role on its own — pairs well with restrained planting around it.
Cape Nursery production. All Cape Nursery stock is grown 7 km from the Pacific Ocean, hardened to coastal sun and wind from propagation rather than acclimatised at point of sale. Specimens leave us biosecurity-traceable, and root-checked. National delivery is available; collection from Ewingsdale is welcomed Mon–Thu 7:30am–4pm.
