Elephant Ears Midnight, one of the darkest elephant ear variety yet developed. Leaves are smoky black and velvety in appearance and stems are also dark. Similar to Black Magic, its leaves start out dark purple / green and morph into a deep dark purple black as the plant matures. Plant and leaves are also larger than Black Magic and stems are darker too, having a burgundy wine coloration.
see leaves and deep red stems in first 5 pics.  The 6th photo shows plant with yard stick similar to plant you will receive.

More differences of Midnight, see 7th pic is it readily produces runners on which new plants will develop not just new plants along side of mature plant. Aka Black Runner in some areas, so if put in ground give plenty of space. The 8th pic shows deep red stems of Midnight, Black Magic stem is green covered in red spots and reddish at end. The 9th pics shows underside of leaf, Midnight has deep red stem and veins through the leaf, Black Magic has lesser. Last two show young small leaf is darker where Black Magic will be green and underside red veins even as new leaf.  See pics in Black Magic listing.

Midnight is a so called runner type and there are green forms too. So yes I have seen Midnight called Black Runner and Black Marble called Midnight and Black Magic called Midnight and more. It gets confusing. This happens a lot when people in different areas use different names for same plant. Sometimes same name is used for different plants of same type or even of complete different genus. I believe there are photos out there of what is C. Marble or C. Black Marble being labeled as Midnight. The photos show a part dark and part green leaf, a marble effect. Similar to Mojito but less spots. Midnight by definition refers to total darkness, totally black. Not dark spots on grey green leaf. You do not name your Pet Midnight if it is spotted, stripped, not all black haired.

In research I found follow articles I used to support my wholesale purchase of type of plant. See; 

( http://elephantearsplants.com/elephantearsmidnight.htm )        ( https://www.agristarts.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/plants.plantDetail/plant_ID/23/index.htm ) and regarding Black marble

( https://www.plantdelights.com/products/colocasia-esculenta-black-marble ) (  https://www.floridaaquatic.com/pond-plant-blank-h9emk )

Photos that look like Black Marble labeled as ( Midnight ) I believe are in error. Black Marble may also be known as Midnight Luxury variegated ori. But should not be labeled just as Midnight. 


Midnight is also a dwarf elephant ear plant that reaches up to around 3 feet tall not the 6 - 10 foot type. Great for ponds or marshy bogs and prefers bright filtered light, sun with some shade.

You will receive a single rooted plant similar to the one pictured with yard stick, not actual plant. 
Listing is for single rooted plant around 20" to 2 feet height. Plant you will receive will be trimmed for shipping. Plant will be sent in wrapped root ball and largest top leaves will be cut for shipping purposes so plant height when sent will be between 15 - 20" and ready to pot or place in ground.

Doberman Approved
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My 106lb Doberman refuses to eat anything but these and duck hearts- go figure- he does not like any type of carb, his diet consists of Taste of the Wild and boiled chicken, he gets one of these every night and wiggles his cute little butt off when he hears me getting the bag, he can hardly contain his excitement. He has NEVER had any issues of chocking or vomiting with these, I am a huge believer in sharing experiences when it comes to our fur babies, mine loves his biscuit (that's what we call it" I know it isn't a biscuit.

Great alternative to rawhide!
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
We have been getting these for quite some time for our black lab. He eats rawhide too quickly and ends up regurgitating it all over the floor. So, on the advice of our vet, we tried something else. We tried these after many other products. These are gone as quickly as rawhide (with my dog, that's 10 minutes... TOPS!), but he doesn't have the digestive issues. The fact that they chew up similar to rawhide is a big plus, since I don't like it when he can't finish it in one sitting - that's just a yucky mess laying around on the floor. I highly recommend these SmartBones for anyone whose dog can't digest rawhide well.

Happy dog
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
We have a big dog and don't like to give him rawhide products for many reasons. We came across SmartBones a couple of years ago and have bought them ever since. They work well for our dog. The challenge has been finding them in stores where we live and at a fair price. These worked.

I order these a lot. They don't have rawhide ...
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I order these a lot. They don't have rawhide in them so that is my main reason. I have a small dog and I order a large because it then takes him about 45 mins to an hour to eat. Most of the time after he eats half I save the other half for the next day to make them last longer! He is a very active dog but these are his favorites. I also order them in small for little treats here and there (those last under 10 mins for him).

Dog loves even though they are thin product dog loves them and Picks Them out of many many toys.
These were super thin and I thought about tearing a hole in them and putting in a slight bit of stuffing. However, my dog absolutely loves them and we fling them across the house and the yard like little Frisbees. They are very lightweight but kind of a corduroy stitched fabric and they have lasted quite some time and been through the washer and dryer many times and abused. Still holding up and the dog loves them. Highly recommend a great product for the price.
