Description

The listing, 8 Elephant Ear 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 8 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 a little 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. However if taken care of they can be grown in pots, a nice spot in the yard, and make great house 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 (bulbs) 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, we hope you win! I'll keep these listed for most of the growing season, they are starting to grow again as winter is just about over here in southeast Texas

Colocasia are grown outside in semi-tropical and tropical areas. In the United States the USDA Hardiness Zones include zones 8 to11, where they can survive year round in an outdoor garden. They thrive in partial shade in the southern states where there is lots of humid weather. They can be grown outdoors in more northern areas with full sun, but they must be dug-up and taken indoors during the winter months

Thanks they are pretty awesome plants, they grow great in pots, just in-case you wanted them inside your house or you live somewhere that gets really cold, you wouldn't have to dig them up or anything :O)
