Typhonium trilobatum Galloway Giant Brugmansia The black-green upright leaves form

The black-green upright leaves form a delightful small 10" tall clump (rarely taller)

The clumps are topped with 2' stalks of medium lavender flowers in late spring

Dale Batchelor of Raleigh ordered it from Florida and lost track of the name

This was quite a surprise since it hails from the more southern provinces of Chiapas and Oaxaca where it can be found on steep sandstone cliffs near waterways in pine-oak forests

I would recommend against using it anywhere south of Zone 8

Typhonium trilobatum Galloway Giant Brugmansia The black-green upright leaves formTyphonium trilobatum 'Galloway Giant' is a 2022 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of a ridiculous large form of the aroid, Typhonium trilobatum, shared by the late plantsman Alan Galloway. This widespread aroid is found from India to South China, and south to Malaysia. The trifoliate leaves emerge in spring and form a 18" tall x 2' wide mound of foliage. Starting in summer, the cupped, liver red flowers start appearing from the base of the foliage.
