elephant ears

Elephant ears are invading my azaleas and I can’t seem to control them. They’ve been in a nearby garden for years but have gone crazy growing under the steps and into my azaleas. They don’t seem to grow well in the designated garden area in which I originally planted them. How can I remove them from the azaleas and get them to regrow under the porch?

These plants can become invasive.
You can physically remove the plants or resort to chemical treatment.
Here are some links that will help you.
