A wonderously huge, tropical-looking plant with dark stems. The Dark Star Elephant Ear is equally as water-loving as the Thai Black Banana, making them excellent choices for a prime pond-side planting. In the featured photos, this Dark Star Elephant Ear is growing at the edge of a duck pond,
its roots tapping into the nutrient rich water, helping it to achieve that 10 foot height that it is capable of growing to.
Depending on what angle you are looking from this landscape at, the elephant ear goes from midground to back ground plant with the black-stemmed banana plant going from background to foreground. This gives this pond-planting a variable look that provides great interest to the eye and lots of sky cover to my
food forest Runner Ducks.
