Escape to the tropics with the Royal Hawaiian® Waikiki Elephant Ear! The Royal Hawaiian® series is new to the market and offers consistent growth habits and are found to be some of the easiest Elephant Ears to grow! They are not only beautiful but are also disease resistant! The Waikiki Elephant Ear is a dwarf variety boasting glossy green leaves with white centers and brilliant pink veining. Growing only 30-36" tall, this is the perfect Elephant Ear to add to a container or as a backdrop to your landscape garden! Like other Elephant Ears, they prefer warm, sunny locations and moist but well-drained soil.
Although Elephant Ears are not hardy in most climates, they can easily be taken indoors over the cold Winter months and enjoyed as a houseplant! If planning on transferring them indoors over Winter, we do recommend planting them in containers for easy transport. Before the first frost, you can take your Elephant Ear indoors near a bright, sunny window. During this time, you can decrease the watering as they do need to go slightly dormant over the Winter months. Once the temperatures begin to warm again in the Spring, you can move your Elephant Ear back outdoors in a sunny, warm location. Be sure to protect from colder nights during this transition time.
