Does anyone have advice about growing elephant ear plants in atl ga. do they do well out in the winter?
My grandmother had these outside her home, and she lived in Charlotte, N.C.


They are a tropical plant, but they can survive some cold. They die back in winter and start new growth in Spring.
Reply:Hi! I'm in Louisiana not Georgia but the climate is mostly the same. Down here the elephant ear grows anywhere and every where! It seems they like a lot of water as the grow very well in the ditches around here. When it starts getting cool the stalks and leaf just die off and the bulb lies dormant till spring sprouting new growth. I've never done anything special to the ones in front of my house to get them to grow they just did. I'm not sure if this helped or not but best of luck, they are a very nice looking plant.
