Colocasia ‘Black Magic'

I really should write about something truly hardy at this time of year but I won’t. Colocasia ‘Black Magic' needs to be treated like Cannas or Dahlias but it is a stunning plant in the summer with huge black leaves. www.hardytropicals.co.uk/Aroids/Colocasia/Colocasia_Black%20Magic.php. The species is cultivated for its edible roots so there’s a fall back position.
