(Elephant Ear) Colocasia esculenta ROYAL HAWAIIAN® 'Black Coral' is a container gardeners dream come true! The large, shiny, jet black 'elephant ear' leaves can reach up to 18-24 inches long! 'Black Coral' grows well in full sun to part shade locations. In southern climates, this Elephant Ear can reach heights of 4 feet when planted in the ground! For northern gardeners, we recommend finding a large container for planting this giant. Mix with bold colored annuals of your liking for a beautiful container garden. The attractive, textured foliage of 'Black Coral' is deer and rabbit resistant. This is an excellent choice as a thriller in your gardens or containers! 'Black Coral' can also be grown as a water garden or bog plant. If there is one plant you need to try this season, it is a Colocasia, Elephant Ear! - More Info
