LariAnn: Can you suggest an elephant ear/like hybrid that will do well on the Gulf Coast of Texas, near Corpus Christi? (zone 9a) I am fairly new to this area and to Daves Garden but I like the tropicals. I have killed my share of elephant ears in the past...Thanks
The Alocasia odora should do well there, as well as Xanthosoma. In the event of a frost, the leaves may be burned, but they will come back. Primary consideration is making sure they get plenty of water.
