Colocasia Black Stem (Black Stem Elephant Ears)

Colocasia Black Stem (Black Stem Elephant Ears)
Huge smooth leaves swaying atop polished black stems; fun for focal points, pond edgers and for adding a tropical touch to any landscape. Grow these elephant ears in average moisture to wet settings, in moderate shade and watch them take off. Curious, 8-12" yellow flowers are produced in late summer, emitting the appealing smell of ripe papayas. Happy in containers so you can move them around to bring them indoors at then end of the season to overwinter for next year.
