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.

Perfect size and amount for family travel
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Style: SPF 50
My usual brand raised its prices, leaving me in a bind to find a cheaper alternative that works well and is suitable for our family trips. I stumbled upon this brand and decided to give it a try. The travel-sized multi-pack is priced reasonably, and I received it promptly. I’ve decided to make this brand my go-to for travel products.

WWI survivor tries to rebuild his life as a mystery writing detective, twisty, fun, interesting!
Format: Kindle
Marius Quin is a complicated man, who does not take himself too seriously. Sent off to WWI at 18, leaving behind the woman he still loves, he survived the horrors of the trenches. After the war he spent a few years in Europe trying to recover before returning to England and becoming a mystery writer. He still has some rough edges, but he is quick witted, curious and when he has the chance to team up with the love of his life, Lady Bella, to look into a murder, he jumps at the chance to spend time with her and solve the mystery. The plots in the books so far have all been very interesting and twisty, with detailed historical settings and interesting supporting characters. Add the underlying draw for Marius to be with Bella, his best friend, whom he shattered by leaving and disappearing for years instead of marrying her. Throw in his post war PTSD and his drive to do the right thing, and you have a great read in every book!

Slightly torn but invested for what's next
Format: Paperback
This is my first Benedict Brown book. I don't know what it was that it was difficult for me to "get into" this book. It almost felt dragged out in some parts instead of getting to the point. And other times it felt like the author was trying too hard, if that makes sense. Each time I picked it up, it took a bit to warm up to it then I couldn't put it down. Then again, I'd stop and have to start that process all over again and I have no idea why. It is funny in parts. Definitely a cozy mystery, none of the blood and gore. I did enjoy the twist, although it was in the back of my mind from the onset. I wouldn't say I won't read the next one, sometimes the first book in a series is not always the best....oddly I've found myself endeared to Marius and feel invested in knowing what adventure he'll face next!

Great new 1920's British Mystery Series
Format: Kindle
This is a 1920’s British mystery along the lines of Agatha Christie’s classic novels. It is the first book in the series and features a mystery writer – Marius Quin. The book begins with Quin having successfully published his first novel, but having problems meeting his publisher’s demand for a second. Depressed when he leaves his publisher’s office, he accidentally meets an old love of his, Bella, a woman he had wanted to marry ten years before but, because he was leaving to fight in WWI, he didn’t propose. It is Bella who invites him to a New Year’s Eve weekend party at Everham Hall, home of a famous film actor. During the weekend, one of their party is killed and so begins the hunt for the murderer, with Marius and Bella investigating. There are plot twists and turns until the denouement when the killer is revealed. I really like both of the main characters (Marius Quin and Bella), and I’m a fan of that time period and of country manor mysteries. I’ve enjoyed Benedict Brown's Lord Edgington novels and find this new series equally appealing.
