3 Gallon Black Magic Elephant Ears

Black Magic Elephant Ears, scientifically known as Colocasia esculenta 'Black Magic', are striking tropical plants prized for their large, dark foliage.

• Appearance: They feature large, heart-shaped leaves that can grow up to 2 feet long and wide. The leaves are a deep, almost black color, adding a dramatic and exotic look to gardens and landscapes.
• Growth: Black Magic Elephant Ears can grow up to 3-5 feet tall and wide, creating a bold statement in garden beds or containers.
• Sunlight: They thrive in full to partial sunlight, making them ideal for planting in sunny to partially shaded locations.
• Watering: Elephant ears prefer consistently moist soil, so regular watering is important, especially during hot, dry periods.
• Soil: They prefer well-draining, rich soil that is kept consistently moist. Adding organic matter to the soil can help improve its moisture retention.
• Maintenance: These plants benefit from regular fertilization with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
• Winter Care: In colder climates, Black Magic Elephant Ears are often grown as annuals or can be overwintered indoors if placed in a bright, warm location.
