Default elephant ears question

Hi all,

Last summer I picked up some "Black Magic" Colocasia. They did well
until October/November. I dug them up and stored them in the basement
until a few weeks ago when I stuck them back in the ground. I thought
they needed the bulbs stored indoors over the winter (I'm in Chicago).
They're growing just fine now.

My question is: if these are related to the elephant ears that grow
perennially like ditch weeds, do I need to winter them again? Whilst
replanting them, I looked around and saw all the green, "wild"
elephant ears sprouting up everywhere in full glory. Hmmm...

TIA
