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.

dogs love this one
Pattern Name: Uni-Hippo
In a 4 dog household we go through a lot of toys. My dogs love the size and weight of this toy. Very well built, light, and durable. I like that there was no squeaker. Good price for a durable toy.

Worth it, even though it doesn't last too long with 2 dogs
Pattern Name: Fox
It didn't last long, but my pups loved it! I have a 4 month old and an 8 month old puppy and they LOVE too play. They also love to fight over toys. This was the perfect you for them. They kept each other busy playing tug of war with it for hours at a time. After maybe a week they managed to top the ropes out, but the food is still intact, although they're less interested in it now. I'll probably buy them another one since they lived it so much.

Durable tug-of-war, active chewer dogs delight
Pattern Name: Donkey
This is one of the better tug-of-war dog toys that I have purchased for my dog. It definitely is durable and lasts longer than any of the other ones that I’ve purchased for my Chihuahua/terrier. After many months of enjoyment, I finally had to buy her a new one, just like it and I also purchased one for my friend that has a little Yorky. I do recommend this toy.

This is a nice toy but is not aggressive pug proof....
Pattern Name: Frog
My little alpha female pug mix ripped this frog apart in about 3 weeks during supervised tugging with me. We've been sewing the head back together as the stuffing gets scattered but I'm afraid we'll have to put Mr. Frog down in a few weeks. This toy has a squeaky and a crinkle sound that make it interesting for the dog but it is not indestructible. She really likes this toy and I'll probably buy another one. Just wish I got more than a few months out of the purchase.
