Van Zyverden Elephant Ears

Black Coral - Set of 1 bulb

• Glossy jet black leaves

• Stunning tropical leaves with blueish veins

• Likes the heat

Elephant Ear bulbs are among the most eye catching of the bulbs available for purchase.

Not only are they one of the largest bulbs, they are also very versatile in that they can grow with little

sunlight to full shade. Beautiful on their own or planted as a back drop for your favorite blooms, they

provide a bold tropical effect in nearly any garden. Once established, they require little

to no attention. They are grown for their foliage,

which is reminiscent of an elephant’s ear.

About This Variety: Elephant Ear Colocasia ‘ Black Coral’ produces large clumps of glossy,

black leaves with much texture.

Growing Instructions: Plant outdoors only after soil and night temperatures have warmed up

above 60ºF.

Care Tip: They love water so much that you can even plant them around the edges of a pond.

Never let the soil dry out.
