Live Bulbs Colocasia gigantea Thailand Giant Thai Giant Elephant Ear Huge Leaf (3 Bulbs)

One bulb came up two didn't. I was almost ready to lose heart then the other two sprang up. I started them in the house and only this week is it warm enough to go outside. From the size of the first shoot I know they will be big and lush. I am excited to see them at full growth.

These bulbs did not grow, I have to assume they were dead before I received them.

I bought my first trio from these guys last year about this time, and was very disappointed by how tiny and scrawny they looked and felt. I planted them in with my hardy banana trees without any thought they could end up doing battle for territory, I thought I had been "had". I was wrong. The photos above show the trio I bought this year sitting on a five pound plastic bag of shopping-center dirt, next to a hand rake. As in last year's trio, it is not impressive. The huge bulb with snaky looking shoots was just pulled out of my cold cellar, it wintered over in a heavy duty garbage bag in the root cellar. It eight 48 pounds. It held its own against the banana trees. I only pulled one bulb up to try to winter over, I didn believe it would survive in a garbage bag. Glad I took the chance on it; it's roots rested on dry sawdust. I gave the seller five stars as the bulbs are good ones, but it is indeed a very sketchy lookin outlet, so doubts are not unwarranted.

Not one came up!

Fast growing was beautiful until someone pet mauled it

Of the 3, a squirrel dug one up, one is growing at least 2 inches a day with multiple shoots, and the last is coming along slowly as I have it in a much smaller pot. I'll be using this for shade over a patio chair as they grow quite large. These were packaged perfectly and I waited a bit too long before planting as they were already sprouting inside their cardboard box. Very good price for these.

I have elephant ears all over my yard. They are all over three feet tall in early May. None of the three bulbs grew. I dug them up to see what was going on. Nothing! No rot, but no growth. Just three hard bulbs. I put them back in the ground. I will continue to water, but disappointment.

UPDATE!!!!!! When I planted the bulbs, although the bulbs were small they produced BEAUTIFUL PLANTS WITH FULL LEAVES! They definite were colossal elephant ears! I’ve had colossal elephant ear bulbs before and these are definitely NOT COLOSSAL ELEPHANT EAR BULBS!!!!! Colossal bulbs are much larger. I haven’t decided if I want to return them or plant and not expect the large leaves. If I do plant them and I’m eating I will definitely post another review. However, upon first sight I don’t believe these are colossal bulbs.
