Q.Jumbo elephant ear

Zone Bay Village Ohio 44140 | Judymdy added on September 29, 2015 | Answered

My elephant ear had growths that looked like flowers. It looked like white flowers. Should I be doing anything with them and what are they called? My leaves on this plant were huge. I measured one of them and it was 58″ long and 46″ wide. They are just beautiful. Can you please let me know about the flowers and is there anything that I should do with them? Thank you!

Here is a small collection of articles with tidbits about elephant ear flowers. The only thing I advise you do with them is enjoy them and photograph them! And, when the flowers are spent you can harvest the seed (the pod that is left below the bloom)!
