This is an amazing plant, grows incredible fast as long as you water it daily and give it plenty of fertilizer, you won't believe how fast it grows. It's absolutely gorgeous too,a real head turner..

Grows very Quckly & beautiful
Reviewed By: Lee Ann (Highland, Indiana)
I brought this elephant ear plant, last year and was amazed as to how quickly it grew. I brought it in this fall, living in the Midwest it is recommended due to the fact that i live in zone 5 . It is still beautiful, It will lose its deep purple color indoor , due to not having direct sunlight.I am pleased with Gurneys and already ,I am shopping from this company for this year 2010. Very pleased i came across your website.
