Black Ruffles is a Colocasia Black Magic hybrid that sports beautiful velvety, purple-black leaves that are ruffled at the edges. This rather tall colocasia will complement your landscape, containers, or add a touch of elegance to your water gardens. It thrives in sun to part shade conditions and looks even more majestic when contrasted against lime green foliage. I suggest pairing it with some Colocasia Midori Sours.
