Description

The listing, (10) 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. You will get a healthy batch of 10 young 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'-5' 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.

Thanks so much Chris! Mine here in PA are growing nicely now. They were witty when I first received them, but they have recovered nicely in a couple weeks! I planted them in pots since I would need to dig them up for the winter here. I think folks in WV would still need to dig them up. I lived there for a few
Years and saw LOTS of snow, ice, and freezing temps! Not too much different from PA. Good luck with this...hey folks, these grow nicely, so bid and enjoy... :)))
