These are black elephant ears I bought this summer.

They were green all summer and only turned black when the temps began to drop.
See the new leaf? This is the color it stayed all summer.

    I have pretty good luck with cutting the leaves back, leaving the bulb in the pot and letting it sit in the basement over winter. bring it out in the spring, water it, and off it goes.
