Giant Elephant Ears
by
Debi M
This is a photo of my giant elephant ears. They will get much larger (they were huge last year), However, I have about 3 times as many "ears" this year. My question is should I separate the bulbs next spring? I have two pots of these and they have done wonderful for the past 3 years, but as they are getting so large I'm beginning to worry that they will be too crowded next year. As you can see, they are already taller than the cast iron chairs and its not quite June.

We have elephant ears growing like crazy along a fence in the back of our yard. Last year I dug up about 50 and gave them away. We are in South Alabama and it is very hot and wet here. Those things love it. When they all froze and the roots seemed to become mushy they had the best spring ever. I don't think you can kill them. I wouldn't pot them......too beautiful and big for a pot.

Separate them every couple years. And start another pot.
