Get some Jumbo Foliage with Elephant Ears

Elephant's ears love jungle like weather so they'll thrive anywhere summers are hot. However, they like to have moist soil so that is a big consideration here in SA with our seemingly never ending drought. A container is the easiest way to provide ideal growing conditions for elephant's ears with frequent watering..  In beds, plant in areas that remain constantly wet like near a backyard pond or stream.  Foliage will die back in the fall but bulbs will survive in the ground if they are mulched.
