Elephant Ears
Make a splash with Elephant Ears (Colocasia esculenta)! A dramatic background plant or screen, Elephant Ears gets bigger and bolder every year. Easy to grow, you can plant the bulbs in compost-enriched soil that is kept evenly moist, once the danger of frost is past and the soil has warmed to about 65°F. Fertilize regularly and keep soil moisture constant or plant them around a water feature or other wet area. The huge leaves steal the show wherever they grow. Elephant Ears are not frost tolerant so if you live in a colder zone, dig the tubers once the leaves have died back and store in a cool area until the next spring. Great as container plants too – you can plant as annuals, or protect your containers from frost over the winter, and Elephant Ears will reappear even bigger the following year. (30-60" tall x 30-60"wide)
