Alocasia wentii Vintage Silver Pteris The attractive April-borne dangling clustersAlocasia wentii 'Vintage Silver' is a 2006 Asiatica Nursery (Barry Yinger) introduction that we are pleased to finally have enough to share. The olive green foliage is heavily speckled with frosty white dots. Although typically grown as a container plant, the 3' tall x 3' wide clumps are deciduous when planted in the northern part of its hardiness range.
