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.

Great monitor but not the monitor stand
Size: 32-inch
Overall, this is a very good monitor for the price. The picture quality is excellent, and the difference compared to my previous 27-inch 1080p monitor is immediately noticeable. The curved screen adds to the viewing experience, and there are plenty of settings available to customize the display, including good brightness options. My main complaint is the stand. It feels a bit cheap due to its plastic construction and lack of adjustability. Considering the quality of the monitor itself, a better stand would have been nice. The monitor does not include built-in speakers, which wasn't an issue for me but may matter to some buyers. Despite the stand, this monitor offers great value and delivers excellent overall performance.

Great for Videos and browsing
Size: 32-inch, Size: 32-inch
I did not buy this for gaming. I wanted a second monitor to browse while playing video games. With that being said it has great picture and doesn’t have any issues with refresh or delivering crisp picture quality. YouTube videos at 4K resolution is almost perfect. Its functions are user friendly and not complicated at all. The stand is rather long because of it being 32” and curved but it is strong and stable. It was super simple to connect and had no issues with compatibility with my PC. I wouldn’t use this for gaming especially if your running a high performance GPU. I’d spend a few hundred more for a better performing monitor

Great Monitor, poor VESA mount.-Updated
Size: 32-inch, Size: 32-inch
Great Monitor, love to give it five stars except for the non-standard VESA mount. The VESA mount plate just won't work with out major modification, or a adapter bracket that slots into were the stand is connected. Then there is the fact that the cheapest adapter on amazon is on sale for just slightly less than half of what I paid for my dual arm stand. I'm not a monitor expert so I can't speak to any technical aspects, but I can tell you I love it . Its crisp and the details with full ray tracing look amazing. Got one for the wife as well She's got a 9070xt GPU and I'm running a RTX3080 and this monitor does them full justice as far as my eyes can tell. Update: I was going to just live with the stand for this thing...Thing is my desk faces an open room, with dogs, Cats and grand kid the potential for my monitor to fall of the desk was too great. So first I was going to buy an adapter but wouldn't you know, I can't find one. Samsung can't even manage to have the same VESA mounts on their own monitors. So pictured is my own adapter, No problem, just a drill, jigsaw, circular saw, some spare long VESA screws, wood screws, and a piece of reclaimed 3/4 inch plywood and a bit of foam padding (for spacing just a little insurance that the wood screws wouldn't get though to the monitor) Tempted to drop the rating to 3 stars but I really like the graphics on this thing. Would I buy it again...Not sure, I love Samsung products but I don't want to go though this little adventure again.

Great for the price!
Color: Avocado Green
It is quiet and it works well. I was trying to purchase a smaller keyboard my husband had picked up for me for my birthday. Although this is much bigger, it works well is quiet and it didn't cost a fortune. The color of the keyboard was not exactly what I was going in for, however I am grateful to have another keyboard as I had ruined another one with coffee. The keyboard is fairly lightweight although like I said I was trying to get a smaller one to replicate the one my husband got me my mistake has decent responsiveness, mouses ergonomic. It's a nice keyboard I wouldn't have gone with this color personally. Seems to be fairly durable and easy to connect and use. The price was very good so I would recommend two others.
