Xanthosoma Sagittifolium |

The TRUE Giant Elephant Ear Plant!
Giant Elephant Ear (Xanthosoma Sagittifolium/Sagittifolia) - Zone 7-11. Cold Hardy! As you can probably tell by my keeping the pictures large they are are one of my favorite plants. They are very rewarding to watch grow fast and large! The Giant Elephant Ear is about as Jurassic as a tropical plant gets. They grow to heights of about 12 feet with the leaves growing 3' wide x 4' long on huge trunk like stems. When the wind blows gently, they look like elephants' ears flapping... makes a great name for these magnificent giants! The petioles have a blue-green powdery look as they larger and when properly cared for. These do grow thick trunk-like stems similar to the Macrorrhiza plants with age. The tubers can be dug up stored in the winter months for the northern gardeners to protect from freeze. They will come back the next growing season and look like nothing has changed except they will be bigger! These plants look great no matter where you plant them. It's fun to watch them grow!
The ones we offer here at Central Florida Farms are not dried bulbs or small Tissue Cultures.
