Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum 'Black Beauty' (Black Beauty Elephant Ear)

Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7-10 30" tall Origin: E. Asia

Open House/Web-Only! This superb 2006 Agri-Starts introduction is a stunning mutation of the popular Colocasia 'Illustris'. If you can imagine intensifying the black leaf color and removing some of the green veins of Colocasia 'Illustris', you can visualize Colocasia 'Black Beauty'. We have no doubt a few of these got mixed in our recent orders of Colocasia 'Illustris', so a few of you may already have this. In the ground, Colocasia 'Black Beauty' is also somewhat stoloniferous like Colocasia 'Illustris', making a 4' wide patch in 3-4 years...simply stunning. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
