Default Re: Hello from Milwaukee!

Thanks for the welcome Cheryl and Cory!

For elephant ears I currently have C. Thailand Giant Strain, Diamond Head, Big Dipper, Black Pearl, Pink China, regular green form, Jack's Giant, Ruffles and I think a few others that I forget at the moment. I have had others in the past but I tend to give some away, lose them to rot etc. And I only pick up ones that really stand out for me.

Black Pearl and Pink China come back no problem with mulch, although the Black Pearl seems to grow better for me, much more vigor. They are the only two I leave outside at the moment, although I plan on trying a couple others this winter. My Thailand Giants had a great year since we had high dew points all summer. The biggest leaf maxed out at almost 7 feet. But now the cooler, drier weather has slowed them down.
