Redemption Elephant Ear (Colocasia esculenta 'Redemption')

Redemption Elephant Ear is a dramatic tropical foliage plant valued for its glossy black leaves, vivid pink centers, and bold warm-season presence. Its dark rippled foliage develops bright pink veining and central coloring that becomes especially striking in heat, giving containers, patios, poolside plantings, and moist garden beds a high-contrast look. This clumping elephant ear brings strong color and texture without relying on flowers for impact. With warmth, rich soil, steady moisture, and part sun to filtered light, Redemption Elephant Ear creates a polished tropical display in indoor and outdoor spaces.

Distinctive Features

Redemption Elephant Ear produces glossy jet-black to deep purple-black leaves with a hot pink center and pink veining that intensifies as the foliage matures. The leaves have a shiny, rippled surface that adds texture and movement to the plant's dark color. It forms a compact to medium clump, making it easier to use in containers and designed beds than some larger elephant ear selections. Flowers may appear occasionally as a spathe and spadix, but this plant is grown primarily for its dramatic foliage, tropical texture, and unusual black-and-pink color pattern.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Grows best in part sun to filtered light, with protection from harsh afternoon sun in hot climates to keep the foliage clean and reduce stress.
  • Soil: Prefers fertile, humusy, organically rich soil that stays consistently moist while still supporting healthy root growth.
  • Water: Performs best with regular moisture during active growth and should not be allowed to dry out completely in warm weather.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 7 to 11 in protected conditions, while colder climates should treat it as a seasonal container plant or overwinter the tubers indoors.
  • Mature Size: Typically reaches about 3 to 4 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide in favorable outdoor conditions, with larger size possible in especially warm, well-watered sites.
  • Habit: Forms an upright, clumping tropical plant with large dark leaves rising from the base on sturdy petioles.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a dramatic black-and-pink foliage focal point in large containers, patios, poolside plantings, courtyard beds, tropical-style landscapes, or moist garden areas.
  • Container Planting: Grow in a large decorative pot where its glossy dark foliage and pink centers can provide strong color and be moved or protected before cold weather.
  • Moist Garden: Plant in consistently moist beds, rain gardens, or protected low areas where its love of moisture can support strong growth.
  • Tropical Garden: Pair with chartreuse colocasias, cannas, caladiums, bananas, gingers, coleus, and bright annuals to create a layered warm-season display.
  • Mixed Border: Use in large mixed beds where its dark leaves and pink veining can add depth, contrast, and tropical texture among lower plants.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water regularly during active growth to keep the soil consistently moist, especially in containers and hot summer weather.
  • Mulching: Apply mulch around outdoor plants to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weed competition.
  • Fertilizing: Feed during the active growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support large foliage and vigorous growth.
  • Wind Protection: Site in a sheltered location because strong wind can tear or damage the large ornamental leaves.
  • Overwintering: Lift and store tubers or move containers indoors before frost in climates where the plant is not reliably hardy.
  • Leaf Cleanup: Remove yellowing, torn, or frost-damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking clean and encourage fresh growth.

Why Choose Redemption Elephant Ear?

  • Black And Pink Foliage: Displays glossy dark leaves with vivid pink centers and veins for a rare, high-contrast tropical look.
  • Rippling Texture: Produces shiny rippled foliage that adds movement, depth, and polished detail to containers and garden beds.
  • Compact Clumping Habit: Offers bold elephant ear impact in a more manageable form for containers, patios, and designed plantings.
  • Fast Warm-Season Growth: Responds quickly to heat, water, and fertility with strong foliage production during the growing season.
  • Container Friendly: Works well in patio pots where it can be featured outdoors in summer and protected before frost.

Redemption Elephant Ear is an excellent choice for gardeners who want tropical foliage with unusual color, glossy texture, and strong seasonal impact. Its black leaves, hot pink centers, clumping habit, and love of moisture make it a standout plant for containers, patios, moist garden beds, and dramatic warm-season landscape designs.

Pay attention to the size chart
Size: Large, Color: White 2-pack, Size: Large, Color: White 2-pack
Good price for 2 undershirts. Retail price on the item packaging says $16.95. The shirts are thin and semi see-through but these are meant to be layered under another top. Have not washed yet but there's a good chance they will shrink a bit. Had to return the first time because of inaccurate/unhelpful size chart. For reference, see the actual size chart on the product packaging (I attached to this review). Originally purchased a Medium for a 10yo average build child, it was too short. Large is the correct size.

Soft, comfortable and great value
Special Size: Tank Top, Size: 2-3T, Color: Tank - Toddler - 10 Pack - White, Special Size: Tank Top, Size: 2-3T, Color: Tank - Toddler - 10 Pack - White
I’m very happy with these Fruit of the Loom boys’ tank undershirts. The fabric is soft, lightweight, and comfortable for everyday wear. They fit true to size and hold up well after multiple washes without shrinking too much or losing their shape. The material is breathable, making them perfect for wearing under school uniforms, T-shirts, or on their own during warm weather. The pack includes several shirts, which makes it a great value for the price. Overall, these undershirts are durable, comfortable, and affordable. I would definitely recommend them to parents looking for quality everyday basics for their kids.

10th order, they do shrink after washing
Special Size: T Shirt, Size: Small, Color: T Shirt - Boys - 10 Pack - White
I guess its time to write a review. I've been buying these for 6 years now for my 10 yr old grandson. I have gone through every kids size S-XL I can unequivocally say they are the best! My kiddo will not wear any other pj top to bed , PJ day at school he will wear something "special" a matching set, but to sleep ...nope! The 7 pack works out to approx $3.50 ea. Pure white, pure soft cotton, no tags. They get softer the more they get washed. A little bleach they stay white. If they get stained...who cares .. remember 3.50 , yep that bad boy can hit the trash guilt free. Every single one of these Tees he has literally grown out of , none got holes . They are the best , softest easiest pj top ever. No trying to match bottoms he wears gym shorts . They are a heck of a great deal! Buy some! Order regular size..they start out big then shrink with washing. 100% cotton you should expect that. Grandson is 10 yrs old, 4'6" tall , about 92 lb.s L fits great , size up if you arent sure.
