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.

Hi, I have some in the full sun and some that only get a few hours of daylight if any, all the info ive read on line has said they like full sun, but ive noticed it dose not really matter. the ones we have in the shade grow taller and the leaves are larger as well, maybe because they are trying to soak up some sun threw the trees. They do like water, almost all of ours are growing in wet areas of the yard, along the creek, and around a pond. I would recommend that if you want to plant these around the house or somewhere that, is not naturally already wet, to keep the soil moist, it dose not have to be soaking wet but moist. Or pot work great, one that waters from the bottom. They are relatively shallow in the soil maybe 8 inches or so once established, but we plant them with about three inches of soil covering them, another good way to keep them moist is mulch. Thanks and feel free to ask any other questions.
