"Elephant ears are tropical perennials known for their lush, large leaves. The plants are found in the Colocasia, Alocasia, and Xanthosoma genus, among others. Though botanically distinct and native to different parts of the world, all elephant ears share similar growing conditions. Another common denominator is their fast growth rate. Elephant ears reach their mature size in a single

growing season.


They are grown as houseplants or outdoors in a warm climate. Gardeners in cooler climates often move them outdoors during the summer.


All elephant ear plants are toxic to humans and pets."

Mine comes back every year, but the size of the leaves really depends on how much water and fertilizer it gets. In a dry summer the difference is huge.
