Even with the weird summer we’ve had, the three elephant ear bulbs I bought are doing pretty well. The one above is the smallest. It’s in the shade much of the day, but protected from a lot of the wind we get up here. It’s had several rough starts, but it seems to be holding its own now.
This planter is on one side of our front porch. This elephant ear is starting to do what I wanted, which was take over the whole planter and fill out as much as it wanted to.
And this is the planter that is in front of our garage. It’s obvious doing the best. This one bulb looks like it will fill the whole planter. I just love it.

I’ve always wanted to plant an elephant ear! Yours look great! I wonder if they would grow in Fresno?🤔🐘

Thanks. These aren’t as large as my usual ones, but I have hope for them yet. I found this – “In warm, frost-free climates (zones 9-11), elephant ears can be grown outdoors year-round. In cooler areas (zones 3-8) they are usually grown as annuals. When the tubers are planted in late spring, they will become large, impressive plants within just a few months.”
