Make a bold color statement with our Touch of Drama Elephant Ear Collection. Large heart-shaped leaves on tall, sturdy stems bring striking form to the garden and container plantings. Place as accents or layer the foliage in clusters to create the feeling of a secluded outdoor room for a lush, luxurious retreat. With plenty of water, Elephant Ears will grow vigorously through the heat of summer. Collection of 3 bulbs.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Our Touch of Drama Elephant Ear Collection features three favorite varieties of easy-to-grow tropical foliage. Gardeners love these easy-to-grow plants for their bold, architectural foliage to help give definition to outdoor spaces and to complement colorful flowers. Plant in spring when the soil has warmed in a full- to part-sun location in wet or moisture-retentive soil, and feed and water regularly for best results. Elephant Ears are also popular houseplants and can be grown in large containers with plenty of watering and added humidity. Elephant Ears are perennial in zones 7-10; In cooler zones, these bulbs can be dug after frost comes, stored over winter, then re-planted the following spring; if planted in containers, store in a frost-free place over the winter.
Our Touch of Drama Elephant Ear Collection covers 10 square feet when planted together, and includes 3 bulbs:
