Colocasia esculenta Diamond Head PP 19939 Conradina Salvia microphylla 'San Carlos Festival'Colocasia 'Diamond Head' is a 2008 release from John Cho's breeding program that took elephant ears to a whole new level. With this introduction, John has been able to combine the color of Colocasia 'Black Magic' with the glossy leaf surface usually seen only in alocasias. The 15" long, glossy, chocolate black, lightly ruffled edged leaves compose a well behaved 4' tall clump. Remember, rich moist soil grows the best elephant ears.
