'Hilo Beauty' - 'Hilo Beauty' Elephant's Ear - Perennial
Boldly variegated foliage
distinguishes this compact "Elephant's Ear" selection. The petioles
(leaf stalks) are quite dark and the whole plant is usually less than 3.5
feet tall. It does best with a 6" deep mulch to conserve soil moisture
and to protect the corms from harsh winter temperatures. Grows best
in half-day sun (morning) or dappled light all day. Looks best if
given a deep watering every week during a dry summer; in fact, it grows
very well in a bog garden. Like its relatives, it is a "gross feeder",
meaning it thrives with frequent doses of a high-nitrogen fertilizer. |
