Default Elephant Ear plants Washington DC area

Wear a big floppy hat and you won't have a problem with your "elephant
ears"!

Obviously you haven't a clue between what the difference is between a true
bulb and a tuber is but that's your problem. You must not be able to
distinguish between an onion and a potato either. Coconuts are seeds not
melons or bulbs. You seriously need to brush up on your basic plant
terminology ASAP.

You have the nerve to post a link to those frauds "Michigan Bulbs". Shame on
you.

while I agree that caladiums have more colorful foliage, elephant ears
(not elephant ear caladiums which are smaller) are so big that they
really give a shady area some character. I get bulbs (and they don't
look like tubers, they are big, melon shaped bulbs like a coconut)
from www.michiganbulb.com.
http://www.dutchbulbs.com/spring/z31943.70307i.html have black
elephant ears, and I plant those and the green them the caladiums, and
it's spectacular (and in pots as well). I dig them out in the fall
and keep them dark and dry and they do well in PA.....
