    This John Cho introduction is a beautiful clumping Colocasia with large black leaves with silver veining. As the leaf matures they take on a grey cast with a dark center of purple that radiates into the outer leaf. The veins on the back of the leaf is a bright cranberry on black petioles. A simply amazing plant. Grows 48" tall. Zone 7b.
