Elephant ears

Colocasia Esculenta

At $17 per bulb, I’m hoping these grow as big as promised! I tried to start them early inside the sunroom but I’m not sure how much of a head start that actually gave me – I didn’t see growth until mid May.

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
