Jack's Giant Elephant Ear - 1 Bulb - Colocasia esculenta

ELEPHANT EARS ~ ENORMOUS FOLIAGE! Larger than the average elephant ear plant. Leaves up to 4 feet long and 3 feet wide. Best grown in fertile, humusy, organically rich, medium to wet soils in part shade or filtered sun. In general, green types can take higher light levels; dark-leaved ones need shade. Once nighttime temperatures are consistently 50-60° F, plant each bulb 6-8" deep and 2-4 feet apart. Water generously. Elephant ears are high water plants. Water as needed to keep the soil consistently moist, and don't allow the soil to become dry. Colocasia likes wet soil and is even appropriate for planting next to a pond, or in water up to 6 inches deep. Check the soil often if the bulbs are planted in sunlight.
