Elephant Ear, Upright

Winter hardy to USDA Zones 9-11 where plants are best grown in part shade or filtered sun in moist to wet, organically rich soils in sheltered locations protected from strong winds which can seriously damage the huge ornamental leaves. Leaves often scorch when exposed to full sun. Plants will grow in periodically flooded areas. Petioles weaken and are unable to support the leaves in too much shade. They come back in zone 8a(cbmga)
