Description

The listing, (3) Elephant ear plants (live plants) has ended.

Hi just wanted to say that our plants are growing in the ground until there is a winner. We will collect the largest plants for you. And in order to get these into the box I must cut the plants down to the bulb and they grow back fast! You will get a healthy batch of 3+ elephant ear plants!!! Characteristics of Elephant Ear Plants:
In landscaping, elephant ears are grown for their large, heart-shaped leaves. While these leaves can reach 3' long and 2' wide in the tropics, in the North they will remain smaller -- but still impressive. Elephant ear plants can grow 8' tall in the tropics; in the North, a height of 2'-3' is more common (depending on growing conditions. Sun and Soil Requirements for Elephant Ear Plants:
Grow elephant ears in a slightly acidic soil in partial shade. As a wetland plant in the wild, elephant ear plants crave water. This makes them a good choice for wet areas where homeowners usually have trouble finding suitable plants. Plant Care for Elephant Ears:
Elephant ears are heavy feeders; fertilize them with a fertilizer high in nitrogen. Elephant ear plants are tropical but can be overwintered in cold climates. Just dig up the corms and keep them in a cool, but not freezing basement or garage, as you would store canna bulbs. During this period of dormancy, make sure the corms neither rot nor totally dry out. Replant in spring when danger of frost has passed.

The plants we have here in our yard we leave outside threw the winter also, we live in southeast Texas, in a house given to us by my grandparents. And grandma planted a couple of these plants about 30 years ago, and now there are a million lol all in the back though. I was looking for info around these plants and im not sure if that was for areas with lots of snow or really cold temps? But your right they are really hardy plants. You can pull them up by the roots and just place them on the ground and they will grow. I havent yet seen the blooms but we have some cannis plants in the mix. And your input is great, always welcome! thanks
