If your landscape offers a moist area that receives good light and includes space for a big plant, you're in luck. (And we do mean big!) Black Magic is the majestic foliage plant that you've seen popping up in all the gardening magazines and it's quite impressive. Originating in tropical Asia, Black Magic is related to the taro plant that has been a food staple for generations. Fast growing, this is a good choice for estate-size containers with bright annuals, along the edge of a pond or in a warm greenhouse. We ship these in 4" pots, a technique that ensures they'll grow faster when you receive them. Note: Colocasia is a plant that is poisonous if ingested raw - please don't eat.
