A close relative to our old favorite Elephant Ear ‘Black Magic’, ‘Black Ruffles’ is a new variety with black, heart-shaped leaves and ruffled edges. The rich black foliage makes a great accent plant in any garden bed or it can be grown successfully as a water garden plant as well. We love ‘Black Ruffles’ as the centerpiece of a mixed container, where it steals the show! Grow in full to partial sun and keep evenly moist.

Tips for Success:

Fast and easy-to-grow the Taro Root is almost foolproof and the large leaves a pleasure to grow.

• Grow in full sun. The more sun the better, although they will grow under varying light levels.• Fertilize moderately but be consistent. Too much feed can burn the foliage.• In the summer water freely. They can be grown in water or at the water's edge. • For container and garden planting keep evenly moist.• In winter, tubers can be dug and stored in a basement, keeping some moisture around the root. Or grow inside as a houseplant.
