Planting and Growing Information
Plant Elephant Ear bulbs in spring after all danger of frost has passed, placing them 2-3 feet apart in rich, moist soil. Position the bulbs 4-6 inches deep with the growing tips facing upward. These tropical beauties thrive in USDA zones 8-11 as perennials but can be grown as annuals or container plants in cooler regions. For optimal growth, maintain consistently moist soil and provide protection from strong winds that might damage the large leaves.
