Colocasia elata Black Magic (Taro) Details

“Black Magic” is a variety of Colocasia that features lush and large, black leaves held off black stems. It typically grows to 80 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site that does not get frosted. It will often die back during winter to regrow again when conditions warm. “Black Magic” is commonly included in tropical gardens, planted around water features, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, maintained in a container, or mass planted for a stunning display.
