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.

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.

2 tries — No actual safety seal, leaking
Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
Update 2 weeks later — tried a replacement, hoped from a different batch. But this one was even less safe, no safety seals or even tape, and not even a product box, just a ready-to-ship baggie. Really sad, really needed this for a family member with low saliva, mouth psoriasis, and chewing-swallowing problems. No idea what to try next bc most products we have seen here have so many chemicals, sweeteners, and flavorings that are harsh for us, they would be impossible to use, worseners. We are giving up on this product, will try asking amazon for a final refund, will keep trying to find something else, and hope our family member will be able to keep eating in the meantime. Dumping unsafe product on consumers just hurts. Bought in mid-Apr-2026, expected to love this — simple, soothing ingredients for mouth psoriasis and low saliva. But, packaging was unsafe — safety tape on outside of cap, but no actual safety seal inside, cap was simple, loose screw-on not flip-top, and gel was leaking. Amazon ai said to not use, and to request a replacement or refund. So we chatted with Amazon customer service, and they refunded. We hope a replacement from a different batch will be safer.

Good product, but Amazon cheated me.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 2)
I have dry mouth. The gel works well for me. I use it in my night guard and it keeps my mouth hydrated all night. However, Amazon messed up the order. I only received one tube instead of the 2 I paid for. Really annoying.

Great product!
Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I have a history of radiation to the head and neck due to cancer. I usually use xylimelts for nighttime which are my go-to. And I can't really sleep without them. But because I use the xylimelts every night, I sometimes get sore gums. I bought this as an alternative. It works well but not as great as xylimelts. It keeps the cheeks and gums hydrated but not the tongue. I still woke up and had to have water because my tongue was dried out. It's the best backup to xylimelts I have found for overnight relief so far. Definitely going to buy again. Likely for daytime use and as a backup to xylimelts.

great book
Format: Hardcover
Another great book on Structural therapy. When Minuchin writes, it feels like he is speaking directly to you. Not many books are both educational and enjoyable, but his are. If you are interested in studying Structural, you want this book.
