Last fall my friend, Laufrain, dug up her elephant ear plants to winter over until the spring. She gave me TWO of them! I put them in our dining area on the floor and held my breath that I could keep them alive until I could give them a home on our front porch in the spring.
Two days ago I moved them to the front porch. I left them in their original pots because I want to be able to bring them in again – assuming they live – when it’s time for them to winter over. We are not planting our usual impatiens this year, unless things change on the pandemic, so I thought the elephant ear would look nice, be at least a little protected from wind and possible hail here, and hopefully be healthy, happy plants.
