{"product_id":"colocasia-blackwater","title":"Colocasia Blackwater","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeveral years ago, we received a shipment of \u003ca title=\"See more Colocasia\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/colocasia-elephant-ear-bulb\"\u003eColocasia\u003c\/a\u003e from India of which most were inferior to plants we already grew. After several years of trials, one plant stood out as an exceptional groundcover elephant ear. Colocasia 'Blackwater', our 2007 Plant Delights\/JLBG introduction, is similar to Colocasia 'Fontanesii' with glossy, jet black stems rising to 6' tall. The stems are topped with glossy, dark olive-green leaves that are much darker and narrower, with a longer leaf tip than Colocasia 'Fontanesii'. It spreads rapidly via black snake-like rhizomes that lay on top of the ground. When it's happy, in rich, moist compost, it can form a 12' wide, dense patch in 3 years, so site appropriately.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21027997957,"sku":"7511","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Colocasia-Blackwater.i-7511.s-66502.r-1_b613e8ec-5a24-4936-aafc-242aa18d7fc5.jpg?v=1776894017","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/products\/colocasia-blackwater","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
