Notes
Royal Hawaiian Black Coral taro (Colocasia esculenta Royal Hawaiian Black Coral) is an annual for specimen plantings, accents, and rain gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It grows in a clump at a moderate pace.
Pairs well with Calla lily, Mexican petunia, Mondo grass, and Lemon Grass lemongrass.
