Alocasia odora
- Giant Elephant's Ear
-6R - $12.50
 
An enormous "Elephant's Ear" with upright, shield-like leaves and a substantial above-ground stem.  Does best with a 6" deep mulch to conserve soil moisture and protect the corms from harsh winter temperatures.  Grows in full sun to half-day sun.  Looks best if given a deep watering every week during a dry summer. 

(Feed with 3 to 5 Agriform 21-gram, 2-year fertilizer tablets at the bottom of the hole at planting time.)
