Upright Elephant Ears

Comments about American Meadows Upright Elephant Ears:

I just opened my box from American Meadows. This is the first time I have made a purchase from them. Included were some upright elephant ears. I ordered these because the bulbs were supposed to be huge, "up to 10 inches." This sounded so much larger than the ones I saw in a local big box store so I ordered them. Turns out they are maybe 4", about half the size of the one at the local store and cost almost 2 and a half times as much. DISAPPOINTED. Hopefully I won't be disappointed in the plants as they grow.

This plant suprised me with a yellow bloom after only 10 weeks in the ground. I will be ordering more!!

I was a little worried about planting an elephant ear in my yard, here in the canyons of sunny California, thinking the dry, summer temperatures would kill this tropical. I planted it in the spring and thought it may have rotted, as it took almost 6 months for the first little leaf to break the soil. But WOW, once it emerged, it never stopped! I cannot believe the size of it now, a year later. By far, the most growth I have ever seen from a plant in such little time. It completely filled in the empty bed I placed it in for that very reason! And now it's sent secondary clusters of new shoots around the entire perimeter of the main base! The only downfall I see, is that I may have to eliminate some of them, if this thing keeps going the way it is. It's a VERY happy plant! I love it and it is a show-stopper in my front garden. Just about every visitor to my home comments on how fabulous it is. I wish I had room for more Elephant Ears. This one is a winner!
