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.

Will always make coffee with this
Flavor Name: Vanilla
This is the key to a good coffee! I do 3-4 pumps and my coffee is sweet & tasty. Bottle is large and will last a while as I don’t make coffee daily. The pump makes life so much easier. Great taste, highly recommend :)

Perfect
Flavor Name: Vanilla
I got this vanilla syrup for my wedding to use at a soda bar, and it was such a hit! Everyone loved it. The flavor is amazing—smooth, sweet, and really rich without tasting artificial. It added the perfect cozy touch to the drinks and worked so well with everything on the menu. I’m so glad I chose this one, it tasted incredible and made everything feel extra special!

Syrup
Flavor Name: Vanilla
The Torani Vanilla Coffee Syrup is a great value and a nice, generous size. The vanilla flavor is smooth and works well in coffee and other drinks. I really appreciate that it comes with a pump—it makes dispensing easy and mess-free once it’s set up. However, it’s important to note that when you first insert the pump into a new, full bottle, the syrup can spill over due to the displacement. I recommend placing the bottle in the sink or removing a small amount of syrup before inserting the pump. Overall, a solid product with great flavor and convenience, just be cautious during the initial setup.

Makes delicious iced coffee!
Flavor Name: Vanilla, Flavor Name: Vanilla
Im someone who likes their coffee to actually taste like coffee and I love this syrup. I’ve been making iced coffee at home almost daily lately, and this vanilla syrup is the only one I keep reaching for. The flavor is smooth and sweet without tasting artificial, and it actually tastes good in iced drinks instead of getting lost in the coffee. The pump also makes it really easy to use without the sticky mess. My current go-to drink: • 2 pumps vanilla syrup • Double espresso pod • Pour over lots of ice • Splash of almond milk • Finish with brown sugar creamer Your bank account will thank me!!!

Syrup is excellent, the pump is dramatic
Flavor Name: Vanilla
I am marking 5 for the syrup itself, my favorite syrup. In regards of the pump, a little too dramatic for me and it will go everywhere. I would rather pour the syrup, including I found the pump will leak and there was a ring of syrup around the base of the bottle. Perfect for a coffee shop, but not for a basic kitchen....but I am picky about syrup splattering because the sugar ants are a nightmare.
