elephant ear plant with red leaves Colocasia 'Fontanesii' Black Stem Elephant Ear BulbColocasia 'Fontanesii' Black Stem Elephant Ear is a dazzling tropical beauty that grows to an impressive size of 3 to 6 feet tall. Aptly named, its huge, heart shaped, glossy leaves are held on elegant purple black stems that give this elephant ear a rich, and somewhat mysterious, distinctive look. The plant rarely flowers, but may produce cream to tan spathes, which are usually hidden by the foliage and not considered particularly ornamental. Black

Colocasia 'Fontanesii' Black Stem Elephant Ear is a dazzling tropical beauty that grows to an impressive size of 3 to 6 feet tall. Aptly named, its huge, heart-shaped, glossy leaves are held on elegant purple-black stems that give this elephant ear a rich, and somewhat mysterious, distinctive look. The plant rarely flowers, but may produce cream to tan spathes, which are usually hidden by the foliage and not considered particularly ornamental.

Black Stem, or Colocasia esculenta 'Fontanesii', also known as elephant ear or taro, is a tuberous, frost-tender perennial (Zones 8-11). With its upright growth habit, it is adaptable to a large container. This striking plant is also well-suited to pond margins and rain gardens. Whether used as a solitary specimen or in mass plantings with flowering companions, its bold foliage adds a tropical touch to any landscape.

Black Stem elephant ear is low maintenance and hassle-free once established but should always remain moist. It thrives in sunny to partially shady spots with fertile, rich, and consistently moist soil. Afternoon shade can be beneficial in hot summer climates. Its resistance to deer adds to its versatility and appeal.

For optimal growth, plant Black Stem elephant ear's 7- to 9-inch bulb (rhizome) in mid-spring, spacing them 2½ feet apart and 2 to 3 inches deep, ensuring the soil and air temperatures are consistently 60°F or warmer. In cooler regions, dig up the bulbs in fall and store them in a cool, dry place with temperatures about 45° to 50°F.

Recoup of purchase price was worth it.
I was refunded the original purchase price of a HP Printer. Minus the cost of the insurance and packing I was only out half the original cost which in the long run is a win.

I have always purchased Asurion and they have always come through
Asurion really came through for me when I had an issue with my Canon printer. The process was smooth and easy from start to finish. The only small challenge was finding a box big enough to ship the printer, but once I had that, I just attached the label they sent and dropped it off at UPS. They kept me updated by email every step of the way, and after inspecting the printer, they determined it couldn’t be fixed. The next day, I received a full reimbursement. Excellent communication and great service all around!

Great Experience!
I have never had to deal with Asurion before and was pleasantly surprised at how well the process went and at no additional cost to me. I shipped my printer on the 14th and it arrived back to me on the 21st, problem resolved. GREAT experience!
