Colocasia 'Fontanesii' Black Stem Elephant Ear is a dazzling tropical beauty that grows to an impressive size of 3 to 6 feet tall. Aptly named, its huge, heart-shaped, glossy leaves are held on elegant purple-black stems that give this elephant ear a rich, and somewhat mysterious, distinctive look. The plant rarely flowers, but may produce cream to tan spathes, which are usually hidden by the foliage and not considered particularly ornamental.

Black Stem, or Colocasia esculenta 'Fontanesii', also known as elephant ear or taro, is a tuberous, frost-tender perennial (Zones 8-11). With its upright growth habit, it is adaptable to a large container. This striking plant is also well-suited to pond margins and rain gardens. Whether used as a solitary specimen or in mass plantings with flowering companions, its bold foliage adds a tropical touch to any landscape.

Black Stem elephant ear is low maintenance and hassle-free once established but should always remain moist. It thrives in sunny to partially shady spots with fertile, rich, and consistently moist soil. Afternoon shade can be beneficial in hot summer climates. Its resistance to deer adds to its versatility and appeal.

For optimal growth, plant Black Stem elephant ear's 7- to 9-inch bulb (rhizome) in mid-spring, spacing them 2½ feet apart and 2 to 3 inches deep, ensuring the soil and air temperatures are consistently 60°F or warmer. In cooler regions, dig up the bulbs in fall and store them in a cool, dry place with temperatures about 45° to 50°F.

Cute for small dogs, but my Malinois made it extinct in minutes
I ordered this plush toy for my Belgian Malinois, and I went into it fully aware of what I was doing. With my dog, “plush toy” basically translates to “short lived prey simulation,” and I’m honestly okay with that because it helps her satisfy that prey drive in a safe, controlled way. She is always under direct supervision when she has toys like this. The toy is cute, and the concept is fun. The wings and textures are engaging, and I can see how the squeaker/crinkle would be exciting for a small or medium dog that actually plays with plush toys instead of immediately performing surgery on them. For my dog though, it was not durable in any sense of the word. Within about 30 seconds, she had both wings ripped off. Within five minutes, the entire thing was shredded and gutted. It did its job as an enrichment “destroy me” toy, but if you’re buying this expecting it to last, it won’t hold up to a strong chewer. It’s also not quite as plush and soft as it looks in the listing photos. It’s more on the lightweight side, which might be fine for smaller dogs, but it felt a bit less cozy than I expected. I’m giving it four stars because it is a cute toy and would probably be a fun, engaging option for the intended size range, especially dogs that aren’t power shredders. For large breeds or dogs with intense chewing styles (or Belgian Malinois energy), just know it’s going to be a very brief relationship.

Great dog toy
It's been played with and shook pretty good from a Border Collie and a poodle, no rips yet and it's been like a month.
