Heart of the Jungle Elephant Ear

Immense green heart shaped leaves feature dark green shading in broad patterns along the leaf veins. Plant in partially shaded locations that can be kept continually moist for best results. The tropical look these plants provide to a landscape can not be denied. Not hardy, the tubers should be dug and overwintered in a frost free location until all danger of frost has passed the following summer.
