Notes
'Sarian' elephant’s ear (Alocasia 'Sarian') is a bulb for borders, accents, and rain gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It reaches 5 to 10 feet tall and spreads up to 6 feet, with white blooms in spring and summer.
