Colocasia 'Black Hawaii'

Colocasia 'Black Hawaii', commonly known as black elephant ear, is a dramatic marginal perennial grown for its large, heart-shaped leaves in deep purple to near-black tones. The bold foliage creates a strong architectural presence, making it a standout feature in ponds, water gardens, and tropical-style borders.

This cultivar thrives in warm conditions with consistently moist soil or shallow water and contributes to garden biodiversity by providing shelter for insects. Its vigorous growth and striking foliage make it especially effective as a focal plant in pond margins and lush, exotic planting schemes.
