Live Bulbs Colocasia gigantea Thailand Giant Thai Giant Elephant Ear Huge Leaf (3 Bulbs)

These grew like weeds after four months they were huge, bulbs were smaller than I thought, although the plants really took off, never even fertilized, and they still grew fantastic.

Do not buy these seeds- I have grown elephant ears the last few years and never have gotten such lousy seeds. I wanted to get them started early, so I went against my better judgement and ordered them online. Ok, first of all, instead of being large and heavy , like the size of a small coconut- they’re tiny. Like the size of a tennis ball. Ok, so I figured I’d take a chance and give them a try. Out of the three seeds , two were duds and never came up. What a waste of time and effort! Buyer beware!

I bought my first trio from these guys last year about this time, and was very disappointed by how tiny and scrawny they looked and felt. I planted them in with my hardy banana trees without any thought they could end up doing battle for territory, I thought I had been "had". I was wrong. The photos above show the trio I bought this year sitting on a five pound plastic bag of shopping-center dirt, next to a hand rake. As in last year's trio, it is not impressive. The huge bulb with snaky looking shoots was just pulled out of my cold cellar, it wintered over in a heavy duty garbage bag in the root cellar. It eight 48 pounds. It held its own against the banana trees. I only pulled one bulb up to try to winter over, I didn believe it would survive in a garbage bag. Glad I took the chance on it; it's roots rested on dry sawdust. I gave the seller five stars as the bulbs are good ones, but it is indeed a very sketchy lookin outlet, so doubts are not unwarranted.

Fast growing was beautiful until someone pet mauled it

Of the 3, a squirrel dug one up, one is growing at least 2 inches a day with multiple shoots, and the last is coming along slowly as I have it in a much smaller pot. I'll be using this for shade over a patio chair as they grow quite large. These were packaged perfectly and I waited a bit too long before planting as they were already sprouting inside their cardboard box. Very good price for these.

Slow to come up and slow to grow and did not get that big.

I have elephant ears all over my yard. They are all over three feet tall in early May. None of the three bulbs grew. I dug them up to see what was going on. Nothing! No rot, but no growth. Just three hard bulbs. I put them back in the ground. I will continue to water, but disappointment.

Beautiful, & they grow fast
