Materials:
1 Elephant Ear Bulb 'Mammoth', shovel, soil.
How to:
- Find a location with partial shade/ partial sun.
- Dig a hole (2x the height of the elephant ear bulb). Top of the bulb should be about 2" (5 cms) below soil level.
- Place bulb in ground, flat side down (pointed end up).
- Cover with soil.
- Water immediately and throughout growing season.
- Watch the huge leaves grow up to 3ft (90 cm) long and wide.
Tip:
Elephant Ears can easily be dug up in the fall (before the first frost). Plant in a large container (no drainage hole needed) and enjoy as an indoor plant. Next spring, either transplant outside or keep as a house "pet".
