Colocasia Black Ruffles Aroid

Colocasia Esculenta Black Ruffles are very striking tropical plants with deep purple/black leaves. They are very similar to 'Black Magic' but are rarer and have ruffled leaf edges. These contrast well with other green leaved plants especially Alocasia as can be seen in the picture. They can be grown in 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 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.
