Colocasia Black Magic Aroid

Colocasia esculenta Black Magic are very striking tropical plants with deep purple/black leaves. These Colocasia contrast well with other green leaved plants especially Alocasia as can be seen in the picture. They can be grown in full-sun or even up to 80% shade and 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 Black Magic can reach a height of between 4-6 feet and can clump to 6 feet looking stunning in any garden. They can be easily propagated by easily dividing the plants and it is recommended to dig them up to bring inside for the winter. They 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.
