I was given 2 bulbs for black elephant ears.

Question

When they sprouted, they look the same as the rest of my elephant ears. Is this common, will they turn black/

Answer 1

This is very common with black, or dark purple plants. My sweet potato leaves start out green as well, turning black as they mature.
