Can the elephant ear be planted in a pond?

I have seen where people, keeping them in pots of soil, put them in their Koi ponds. They look great and seem to be


growing well. I have thought about putting them in mine but I have enough plants there.

Can the elephant ear be planted in a pond?
Actually yes. In Hawaii they are grown in shallow ponds as a food crop. The tubers are harvested, crown and a portion of the tuber are removed and replanted. They like full sun and wet feet.
Reply:I think that might be to much water, try on the edge
Reply:no--but you can plant it at the edge --bout 2 ' from the water--elephant ears like wet conditions but not completely in the water
Reply:yes, but no deeper than 6 inches or it will rot. also make sure it is a warm sunny pond
Reply:In a shallow pond I think yes,they like their roots to be damp.
Reply:Sure. Much of the taro family of plants can be grown in shallow water. I have taro growing in my pond and have had colocasia (black taro or black elephant ear) growing in the past in the pond. Elephant ear is too big for my pond (10x15), but there's no reason it wouldn't be good in a larger pond.
