Colocasia Esculenta Black Ruffles These are awesome very striking tropical plants with deep purple-black leaves. They are very similar to 'Black Magic' but are more rare and have ruffled leaf edges. They can be grown in shaded areas but require plenty of water to ensure good growth. They thrive next to ponds, in a bog garden or even grown in a pot if kept well watered. Colocasia Esculenta Black Ruffles reaches a height of between 4-6 feet and can clump to 6 feet looking stunning in any garden. They can be easily propagated by dividing the plants and it is recommended to dig them up to bring inside for the winter which is very easy to do. Will produce lots of small plants ready to divide in year 1 or 2. Can be grown indoors all year round in a pot if preferred. You will receive a well started plant in a 4 inch pot. |
