These bold, tropical-looking plants stop you in your tracks — those enormous, heart-shaped leaves can span two feet or more, turning any Pacific Northwest garden into something lush and unexpected.
Elephant ears (Acolocasia or Colocasia esculenta, depending on variety) thrive in partial to full sun with consistently moist soil — they’re thirsty plants that reward watering with dramatic growth. In the ground, they can reach four to six feet tall in a single season. They’re not reliably hardy through Bellevue winters, so most gardeners lift the tubers in fall and store them indoors until spring.
These are available free for local pickup at end of summer in the Lake Hills neighborhood of Bellevue, WA. Living plants go first while supplies last, followed by tubers. No shipping — this one requires a short drive and a little planning. When you submit your pickup request, specify your preferred date and time, and check your spam folder for the confirmation email.
A gift from one garden to yours.
