Give them moist, partial shade and warm soil. That’s the ticket to good production. Choose now, plant in another week giving the soil a chance to warm up a bit more. Fill the hole with peat moss to fluff the soil and add a little acid. Plant tubers knobby-side-up about 2-inches deep and 8- to 12-inches apart.
Another bulb is the Elephant Ear. There are several varieties, the Lime Zinger has 2 foot long chartreuse leaves on a plant that grows 3- to 5-feet tall and 4- to 5-feet wide.
