elephant ear plant with red leaves Colocasia 'Fontanesii' Black Stem Elephant Ear BulbColocasia '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

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.

A hardy chew toy
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium, Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
My dog loves these! I have purchased several. The size is perfect for my 25-pound cockapoo. It’s durable and she chews them for months until they’re prickly and not as fun anymore. The price is reasonable enough and she loves them so well (they’re one of the two chew toys that she likes), so I feel like the cost is worth it. One thing to note is that my dog does chew off tiny bits from the bone. She usually spits them out but has swallowed some bits here and there. There hasn’t been a situation with the swallowed pieces, but I always monitor her as she uses it and would suggest that for other pet owners also. Safety is always key, but we have never had any problems in the two years I’ve been buying them.

Don't recommend for any type of chewers
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
Same product, don't recommend due to slicing of material. My pup is a chewer and he was a 4mo old Chug at the time. Not worth my worrying about him swallowing plastic

Dogs of all ages love these bones
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
All my dogs love these bones. My older dogs as well as a teething puppy. These bones helped when my puppy was teething. My older dogs always enjoy a good chew. Doesn’t disturb the stomachs. They lasted long time. I was not worried my dog was chewing something bad. I wish they were thicker. The pet store sells this brand for $6 each. I feel like I m getting a bargain buying here.
