From: Sheldon Hatheway <sfhatheway at yahoo.com> on 2009.03.23 at 06:06:42(19199) Most people think of Marantaceae as being tropical, but our native Thalia dealbata, which is about 8' tall, is hardy to zone 5 and makes a spectacular focal point in a water garden.

From: RAYMOMATTLA at cs.com on 2009.03.26 at 04:22:28(19205) Agreed....my Thalia dealbata growing outside in a pool is already up. Anyone outside of zones 9/10 grown Thalia geniculata? It is such a sight when seen in the wild in areas of Florida. Id imagine since it grows all the way to the Georgia border and in parts of the panhandle it could take some cold.
