2 Colocasia 'Black Magic' Live Starter Plants – Bare Root in Soil Pod (2" Pot Size)

Create a dramatic tropical display with this set of 2 Colocasia 'Black Magic' live starter plants. This ornamental elephant ear variety is prized for its large, deep purple to nearly black foliage that adds bold color and texture to gardens, patios, containers, and tropical landscapes.

This listing includes 2 live starter plants. Starter plants are inserted into 2-inch nursery pots during cultivation but are not fully rooted into the pot. Each plant has a fully established root system and is shipped bare root in a protective soil pod to help reduce shipping stress. Please do not remove or disturb the soil pod upon arrival. Nursery pots are used for cultivation only and are not included.

Colocasia 'Black Magic' plants are delicate during shipping and may arrive with damaged or missing leaves. Leaf loss during transit is normal and does not necessarily indicate an unhealthy plant. Healthy plants regrow new foliage from their established root system when provided with suitable growing conditions.

You will receive plants similar to those shown in the listing photos. Natural variation in foliage color, size, and overall appearance should be expected.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Customer Notice:

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:
