Colocasia ‘Black Beauty’, a rare variety of elephant ear, is a bold tropical plant grown for its large, deep purple to near-black, heart-shaped leaves that create strong visual impact. It forms a lush, upright clump and typically grows to around 1–1.5 m high and wide, making it ideal for feature planting, tropical garden beds, and large pots. This variety performs best in full sun to part shade and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Regular watering is essential during warm weather to support healthy growth and large foliage. Best suited to tropical and subtropical climates, it can be grown as a seasonal feature or protected from frost in cooler areas.

Supplied in a 200mm pot.
