Caladium esculentum 
Elephant’s Ear 
For imposing masses of tropical foliage 
there is nothing so effective or so easily 
grown as the Elephant’s Ear. The plants 
grow from 3 to 5 feet high. Plant the bulbs 
late in May, after all danger from frost is 
past, spacing them 2 to 4 feet apart and 
covering them a few inches deep. The 
larger the bulb, the larger the plant and 
the more space required. If extra-large 
plants are desired, start the bulbs indoors 
in pots or large boxes, in March or early 
April, and transplant to the open about 
June 1. Give plenty of water throughout 
the season; liquid manure is very beneficial.
