Description

The listing, Caladiums (Elephant Ear Bulbs) has ended.

These beautiful plants will come back every year and if soil is tilled and bulbs placed in the ground in the spring after frost has gone they will start to grow and make beatiful plants. One will multiply and you will have many but best grown if tilled ground and water and sun are plenty will droop to the ground if directly in the sun but will stand again in late evening after sun as went down water plenty.

Questions & Comments

These are a nice plant and like she said , they are tough, they will multiply, I have seen them look like they were dead, but they were not, I had them at another home and I want these, thanks and btw do not dig them up , like she said they will be fine, they do multiply a lot.

My gladiolas have become hardy as well as most of my cosmos, maybe I could try that with elephant ears, just a bulb or two the 1st wintering , just to see.

Oct 14th, 2011 at 11:52:49 AM PDT by

Oct 14th, 2011 at 10:01:15 AM PDT by

I love them too and they are so pretty!

Oct 14th, 2011 at 1:26:45 PM PDT by

but you dont dig them up every late fall ?? the ones you want to stay, that is.. Im assuming by reading the above comments that Elephant Ears grow back year after year just as Hostas do?? You only dig up the bulbs if you want to relocate them?

Oct 13th, 2011 at 6:48:15 AM PDT by

right I never dig any up....:)

Oct 13th, 2011 at 7:42:54 AM PDT by

Oct 15th, 2011 at 7:01:23 AM PDT by

Oct 15th, 2011 at 11:04:02 AM PDT by

I'm in NH, will they survive if mulched well. This is my first year and they are finally doing well, now that we are do a frost anyday. Temp goes down to -10 sometimes, but usually 20-0. Advice on digging up?

Oct 14th, 2011 at 10:03:12 PM PDT by

Yea, I think so too....I love them I started with 2 bulbs about 15 years ago...:) and those things multiplied!!!!

yes I live in Ga and I do have the bulbs here and I do dig them up and I have had so many people to get them over the years.:)

Oct 12th, 2011 at 8:45:00 AM PDT by

You live in GA so do you dig up the bulbs? I ask this because I live in SC.

Oct 12th, 2011 at 8:40:42 AM PDT by

yea..:)

Oct 12th, 2011 at 2:24:37 PM PDT by

We didn't hav it where water would stand...We was thinking maybe our rose bushes killed them or something, Because my daughter got me a rose plant last year and it grew real big this year and we planted it close to my elephant ear plant...It got sobig last year and we thought it would come back this year but no luck.

Oct 12th, 2011 at 7:25:57 AM PDT by

Well you know I am thinking the rose bush probably either soaked up all the water or the roots smother the elephant ears out.....:( Darn...I hate that.... but I have always had good luck but I had them to the side of my house and it was easy for me to water them daily though....you know

Thank you!!

Oct 11th, 2011 at 5:26:05 PM PDT by

Also, how tall do these ones get?

Oct 6th, 2011 at 3:22:44 PM PDT by

if you till the ground and make sure they have plenty of water almost 7 foot and the leaves were huge and I mean huge but when I put my car shed beside them they still got tall but not as tall and a little less wide in the leaves...:)

Oct 6th, 2011 at 4:50:16 PM PDT by

how many do you get?

Oct 6th, 2011 at 3:22:10 PM PDT by

2.............:) they will multiply like crazy......

Oct 6th, 2011 at 4:45:17 PM PDT by

I just started two of these this year. I take it they must be dug up in the fall. Mine are just starting to grow. One is 3 feet talk, the other 2 feet. What do I do? I live in New England with up to -20's but mostly 0's in winter. thanks for your help.

Oct 6th, 2011 at 9:40:54 AM PDT by

No do not dig them up they will be fine I suppose....i just would not start them (new ones that is) I would just wait until end of February or so but if they want stand in water than I suppose it will be ok............;)
