This type of elephant ear is in the Colocasia family and refers to the downward direction in which the leaf hangs.
These plants have solid green matte leaves (sorry, no fancy color offerings just yet). They will grow in full sun, but like the caladiums, partial shade is ideal. This type of Elephant Ear will go dormant in the winter. They typically grow anywhere from 3’-5’. This particular bulb is round and measured on circumference, different from caladium bulbs that are measured on diameter. We offer the following sizes.
#601 – 7”-9” tangerine
#602 – 9”-11” orange
#603 - 11”-13” grapefruit
#604 – 13”-15”
WARNING: Elephant Ear bulbs are NOT for edible consumption.
