Elephant Ears Set of 3 "Mammoth Bulbs"

Elephant Ear bulbs are among the most eye catching of the bulbs available for purchase. Not only they are one of the largest flowering bulbs but they are also very versatile and can grow with little sunlight to full shade. Beautiful on their own or planted as a back drop for your favorite blooms, they provide a bold tropical effect in nearly any garden. Grown for only their foliage which are reminiscent of an elephant's ears. Once established they require little to no attention. These giant upright Elephant Ears come from the Alocasia family and are known for their leaves, which point in an upward direction. This most impressive variety grows somewhat larger than our traditional Elephant Ears. Their leaves are huge, leathery thick, sculpted on rigid stems. These plants will make a passersby stop in their tracks. In native areas, under ideal conditions, the plants have reached 10 feet in height. Easy to grow and magnificent! The best of the best for those whom have busy lives and little time to wait.  Huge plants the first year.

Advisory:

• While every effort has been made to describe these plants accurately, please keep in mind that height, bloom time, and color may differ in various climates. The description of these plants has been written based on numerous outside resources.
• No other type of horticultural plant product gives you quite the range, color, variety, and versatility than flower bulbs. Generally speaking, the best predictor for gardening success is bulb size. Almost always, the larger the initial bulb size planted, the larger and stronger the plants will be, producing more flowers. Larger bulbs withstand adversity (disease, drought, too little or too much moisture, adverse temperatures, packing conditions and storage) so much better than the smaller ones. The first year end result will be noticeable to anyone.
