Any suggestions for planting elephant ear bulbs. cant think of any patterns to plant them in. Need a bed.?

Landscapers use Elephant's Ear in beds and borders; the foliage is especially attractive by the waterside. Needs deep, rich, moist soil, shelter from wind; prefers light shade. In the Deep South plant tubers directly outdoors, 3 to 6ft. apart in spring; elsewhere start tubers into growth in pots of soil indoors or in a greenhouse eight to ten weeks before setting plants outdoors in late spring after settled warm weather arrives. water freely in summer.


Plants may remain undisturbed through winter in the Deep Sout; elsewhere, lift after the first killing frost and store in the same manner as cannas.





If you live in Tennessee, most people in Tennessee dig up


their elephant ear plants and stored them inside during the winter.





"Go Volunteers" "It's a Tennessee thing, for all the other folk reading this."


Y'all take care now,


Good Luck
