Black Coral is a lustrous Colocasia that sports large, purple-black foliage that shimmers in the sun. The undersides of the leaves have a beautiful deep, violet-mauve tone that contrasts well with the leaves’ darker tops. This Colocasia does nicely in well-draining soil, but it likes to be watered frequently. It does not overly enjoy the sun and grows best with morning sun and afternoon shade or under a canopy of trees where it will be supplied with bright, indirect light
