Lime Zinger
Xanthosoma 'Lime Zinger'
Lime Zinger is grown for its foliage rather than flowers, giving the garden structure and color all season long.
Months here are Northern Hemisphere months; in the Southern Hemisphere, shift them by six months.
Growing Lime Zinger
Plant it in part sun. It prefers high water. It is hardy in USDA zones 8–11. Expect it to reach about 5 ft tall and 4 ft wide at maturity, in roughly 1 year (not yet checked).
What this means
Written with AI assistance and not yet checked plant by plant against recorded sources, so treat every fact above as a starting point. Its scientific name was checked against botanical registries, an audit keeps its values consistent with the rest of the library, and a July 2026 review re-read the main facts of every plant then in the library against horticultural authorities without recording a source for each, which is why none of that counts as checked here. The source-by-source check is working through the whole library in the open, and a checked plant says so in this row.
