Re: Elephant ears
I think there are types that simply won't overwinter dry (even if they have a bit of a bulb). I think some really need to be kept in a heated greenhouse. I may be wrong, but I've heard too many storys about people who have had difficulty with certain varieties. I'm sure you'd love to see a list of what varieties won't make it (me too) but I haven't written any of them down. I'm trying to keep several pups alive in heated, well lit conditions this year and I did have success with some a few years ago when I tried this method. The pups grow pretty fast when they are planted out in early summer.
