| Positive | JaxFlaGardener | On Jun 25, 2008, JaxFlaGardener from Jacksonville, FL (Zone 8b) wrote: Very interesting distorted leaf shape with white and green contrasts. It doesn't seem to be as hardy as other elephant ears, but it is making a slow recovery after a winter with several nights around 28 F. It might do best if dug up and overwintered in a greenhouse.

Grew it first in trickled sunlight, by a fountain for several years, and it did fine. It was lost last year when we relandscaped before it had emerged after the winter. I was lucky to have plants show up here and there where they had been scattered - in full sun! They love it!! I've never had trouble with the variegation.

Originally started with one corm several years ago and have been dividing it through the years. We have it in various areas of the year now. Prefers shade, but will do alright in sun. | | Positive | scooterbug | On Aug 29, 2004, scooterbug from Tellico Plains , TN (Zone 7a) wrote: I have this plant in my shade garden , along with other variegated shade lovers including a Snow Bank brugmansia.
Plenty of color even without blooms.
I just love this plant =)
This morning there was a big ol' hornet drinking from the water collected in the 'pocket' . He flew off before I got the picture ;'( | | Neutral | vossner | On Jun 4, 2004, vossner from Richmond, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: I loved this plant when I saw it at the nursery last year. For me, pricey at $25, but splurged anyway. Died back in winter, but came back, double in size, but much less variegation! I'm hoping variegation becomes more marked as summer progresses. It's planted outdoors in dappled sunlight. If you have experience with this plant, drop me an email. |
