Spring 2026 Shipping Schedule: 3/20/2026


Nothing screams tropical in the summer garden than the magnificent Elephant Ear! These beloved, easy to grow tubers produce the most dramatic, exotic foliage summer to fall. There are two main types of Elephant Ears - Alocasia (upward pointing, glossy leaves) and Colocasia (tall stems with velvety leaves that hang similar to elephants's ears). Elephant Ears range in color, height, pattern and texture. Colocasia esculenta is grown in Hawaii for food and is commonly known as taro.

About this Variety

Elephant Ear Antiquorum Illustris has won awards for its beautiful foliage. A bold and impressive Elephant Ear classic. It is heat tolerant, fast growing, adaptable as a houseplant and can be used as a water plant since it loves moist areas. The foliage is green with purple-black shading, making it the perfect thriller in a tropical container combination planter. Looks great planted with Cannas.

Growing Instructions

Plant Elephant Ears outdoors in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. Elephant Ears thrive in a full sun to partially shaded spot in moist, rich soil. Elephant Ears will tolerate full sun but prefer to have a little shade. Plant tubers 2-4" deep and 18-24" apart. When planting a large number of bulbs in one bed, excavate the entire area to the recommended depth, work fertilizer into the bottom of the trench, set out bulbs and then cover all at once. Water thoroughly at planting. While actively growing, water frequently and thoroughly so that water will reach roots. Mulch to keep the soil cool and to prevent the soil from drying out. Fertilize at planting and during growing season every two to three weeks. In areas where Elephant Ears are not winter hardy, dig up tubers in fall before frost. Clean off roots and store at 50ºF. Replant tubers in spring after all danger of frost has passed.

Care Tip

Elephant Ears are suitable for large pots, raised beds and will grow in standing water. Water well during dry periods. Some varieties of Elephant Ears can be grown indoors in a very bright location in consistently moist soil.

Beautifully Branded and Roomy Tote Bag
This bag arrived well packaged. It was enclosed in a plastic sleeve that had a cardboard insert covering 2 sides of the bag. The bag was also inside a cloth type bag that is usually reserved for expensive purses/bags. There was also protective material covering the bag’s handle and clasp. The packaging protected the bag and there were no damage when received. When I removed the bag from its packaging, the “NK” excited and confused me. At first glance, I thought that I had mistakenly received THE designer bag with similar logo branding. There are decorative zippers on the front of the bag which uniquely camouflage 2 roomy front pockets. This was a great idea since it enables me to store items there (keys, coin purse, mints) without having to enter the bag’s main compartment to retrieve them. The closing clasps operate without incident and compliment the look of the bag. The handle allows you to throw it over the shoulder or just carry in your hands. The inside is very roomy, is nicely lined and has a pocket where you can slip items in so they don’t get lost inside the bag. The roominess of the bag reminds me more of a tote bag than a purse. Overall, this is a really nice bag that I am proud to own.

Trendy And Well Made Purse!
This is a take on a very popular style, and fairly well done. As you can see photographed here, this is a reasonably large-sized purse which you could use to and from the office, or almost as a day bag. The clasping mechanism on the top is cute, it ensures everything is contained and naturally folds the top over to give you a little bit more room under the arm. The metal accents and zippers are well done. The material feels nice although it does have a slight off gassing initially so you might want to air it out the first day. Otherwise reasonable construction and quality give this an easy five stars.

Stylish, Spacious, and Perfectly Chic!
The GEMIU Women’s Large Logo-Print Hobo Shoulder Bag is absolutely amazing! The design is trendy and fashionable, making it a standout accessory for any outfit. It’s surprisingly spacious, easily holding all my essentials without feeling bulky. The shoulder strap is comfortable, and the bag feels well-made and durable for daily use. I also love the quality of the materials—they look high-end and are built to last. This bag perfectly combines style and practicality, and I’ve already received so many compliments on it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a chic, versatile handbag!

Cute and roomy
This is a roomy and well made purse. It's a modern and chic style as well. The print is well made and the materials are good. It isn't really stiff but does have structure. The straps are stitched nicely and made of a medium brown leather like material. It's a really cute bag that is decently made so it's a great price for the value.

I want to be the only one who has this, so don’t buy it!
Color: Coffee
I got it in coffee brown and it is gorgeous. It feels like soft, supple, rich leather. The size and sturdiness are perfect, especially if you have to keep quite a few things organized over the course of a long day. Having a rich burgundy interior color is just one of the thoughtful touches with this design. That makes it easier to find things! The zippers and fasteners are high quality. The bag oozes a richness that’s really impressive. Chic, fabulous, well-made, and very useful. Just the right size and just the right number of compartments. Astonishing value. Everything. Love.
