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.

Excellent Coverage and Very Easy to Apply
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
I bought this Banana Boat Sport SPF 50 spray about six months ago, and it has worked perfectly for all my outdoor activities. It provides strong and reliable sun protection, even on very sunny days, and I really appreciate that it protects from up to 98% of burning rays. I’ve used it at the beach, walking outdoors, and even on long days outside, and I haven’t experienced any sunburn. The spray format makes it very easy to apply—quick, even, and mess-free. It absorbs fast without feeling sticky or heavy on the skin, which is something I love because I don’t like sunscreens that leave a greasy layer. It’s also water-resistant, so it stays on even when I sweat or go into the water. Overall, this sunscreen is ideal if you want strong protection, easy application, and a formula that feels comfortable on the skin. I would definitely buy it again and recommend it for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors.

29 years of riding a Harley, THIS is the best sun protection I have found for long SUNNY day rides!
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
This is my "Go To" Sunscreen of choice that I find is the best to quickly spray my arms down good before a long Harley Motorcycle ride! I have tried many brands and styles from creams to face specific to lip balm but this one can does it all in my case! I quickly spray my arms ( no rubbing in required ) and a quick spray in my hand and I then rub my nose and ears , face and i'm ready to ride and I am protected! Most times I only apply this product once a day and works better than anything else for my needs. I am light skin but I have ridden lots this Summer and my arms never burn and now have a deep tan as we are entering fall... I made the mistake of trying a store brand that looked like this product but was oily and never used it but once! This Banana boat once sprayed on my arms, I never think about it again as its gone but still protecting my skin! This is the best I have found after 29 years or riding a motorcycle to protect my skin with the least amount of trouble , No strange or tropical smell, NO greasy feel just quick applied lasting sun protection that has proven itself mile after mile! The BEST Sun product I have found!

Affordable and Effective
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
It’s really good for the price and super easy to apply. I would recommend having someone help with your back or harder-to-reach areas, because any spots you miss will definitely show if you’re out in the sun for a while. I’ve used this for a couple of years now, and it’s one I keep going back to. If you have more sensitive skin, there may be better options out there, but I personally haven’t had any issues with it so far.

Us it Every Day
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
This is really a great product and easy to use as a spray. I bike ride every day and my ears/face are exposed to the Florida sun. I use it primarily on my face every day. A moment after a quick spray, the product dries, is not sticky, etc. This will become a recurring purchase.
