Huge, purple to black leaves float in the air atop herbaceous, deep purple stalks. These heart shaped leaves grow up to two feet long! Black Magic Elephant Ears are fast growing, easily reaching 3 to 6 feet in a single growing season!
The Black Magic Elephant Ear prefers moist soil. In fact these plants can even grow in wet conditions and low ponds. These plants thrive in full sun to part shade. Some shade is recommended in zone 10. Add a balanced, slow release fertilizer when planting, in early spring, and late summer for best results. Elephant ears are hardy in zones 8-10. Cooler climates can dig up the bulbs after the foliage begins to die back or plant in containers and move them inside in the winter to enjoy them year after year.
