This was my first order of Elephant Ears and first time planting. Since my home is for sale, I decided to plant them in containers so I can hopefully take them with me when I sell my home. [...]. I planted them about 2 weeks ago and was amazed how fast they are growing! I am located in sunny southern calofirnia and pretty much anything will grow when we add water so I am excited to see their progress.

The second year the leaves were smaller, but still quite large. It's in a large pot which makes it quite easy to dig up and store for the winter and then replant the folowing spring. It does very well in my mostly shady area. I love it!

Every year I plant elephant ears on my urban patio. This is the first time I purchased them from this retailer. The bulbs are the best I have seen. Large, healthy and very well packed. I look forward to some humongous plants and many compliments from visitors!

These are huge bulbs. I did not expect them to be so big but I was shooting for big plants, so it worked out. They did well once it warmed up enough for them to get growing. All around great experience from American Meadows.

I purchased two bulbs for the purpose of screening my well water pipe. I put each about 1 foot from the pipe and within a couple weeks they were popping up and within six weeks and beginning to hide the pipe.
They are breathtaking in size and color. Especially beneficial how long each leaf lasts.
I had no trouble for over-wintering; I dug each up, used lightweight, though large, pots and kept them indoors. Blooming continued at a slower pace. A few weeks before they could go outside, they began to look a bit weak but upon replanting, one week later they are back to growing fast.

I planted three of these softball-sized bulbs in beds at the edge of my patio on the south side of my house, and they grew like gangbusters. The 2-3 foot long leaves wave enticingly in the slightest breeze, enhancing the tropical look of my outdoor entertaining area.

The only drawback is my climate. I live in Zone 5b, so every fall I have to dig up the elephant ears and store them in my garage until springtime. The root/bulb mass can get very large, so I recommend dividing it up into chunks so you don't hurt your back lifting them.
