I have lots of what we call elephants ears, but I think they are more

won't ( I've sprayed directly and have also cut the plant at ground

poison. To dig them out could wreck parts of the garden. Any
suggestions please?

I would suggest that poison is going to do more damage than digging
up the plant you don't like.
