They do well in sun, shade or partial sun/shade. Good drainage is always a
plus. Mine have always been in partial shade and do nicely. If planted in
full sun, I'd increase watering accordingly. My experience has been that they
won't begin to grow until the soil really warms up so I'd wait until summer
like weather in your area before planting them. I plant mine with about two
inches of soil covering the top of the bulbs. I must confess that I've never
fertilized my plants and they still are magnificent with leaves exceeding 36".
I can only imagine what a shot of fertilizer would do! Have fun with
them..they are a favorite of mine.

Hi,
I just bought two Elephant Ear bulbs, or big hunks at Walmart.
There was no information about how to grow them.
Could someone on this list please advise me as to whether or not they like
full sun, partial sun, or shade? Do they like well drained soil or very
moist soil? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for any and all answers.
