How to Use Illustris Elephant's Ear in the Landscape/h3>

This opulent plant is more versatile than you might think. Grow it in the ground or in containers.

Areas with warm winters can leave them in place all year-round. Each plant will grow to the mature spread listed on the Plant Highlights.

Try several for a unique screen, planting the corms two to three feet apart. Add to a truly fabulous collection of Colocasia, highlighting the showy downturned drama of Illustris front and center.

In cold winter zones, you can also plant them in the ground as a single season annual. By the time the nights grow cooler, you'll have a terrific plant worthy of your neighbors' jealousy.

If you want to overwinter your plant, you can trim back the foliage, then lift the large corm out of the ground. Remove the roots and allow it to dry indoors. Store them in a cool, dark area and replant once all threat of frost has passed.

You can also appreciate their electrifying charm in outdoor containers across the country. Why not spice up your balcony for divaliscious apartment living?

In frosty winters, bring the pot indoors, and trim back for use as a temporary houseplant. Don't overwater your Illustris Elephant's Ear indoors.

Add them to the edge of ponds, or use on your patio or pool deck. Kids absolutely adore the huge leaves, so plant one by their play structure.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Illustris can be grown in either full sun or partial shade. They require consistent water, and frequent fertilization.

Potted Illustris should be planted at the same level it was growing in the pot. Dig down to eight inches and turn the soil over to loosen it.

Use a rich soil during planting, amending with handfuls of compost. Top dress with additional compost and mulch to a depth of three inches.

Use a slow-release organic fertilizer formula according to the label directions. These plants are heavy feeders.

Trim the spent leaves back as needed to tidy up your presentation. We recommend that you wear gloves, as you may be sensitive to the oxalates in the sap.

Enjoy your showy Illustris Elephant's Ear. You'll love all the compliments...order today!

Great ball but easily broken
Size: Large
I got this ball for my two dogs, one is a 90 pound yellow lab mix and the other 45 pound black lab mix. So far only my bigger dog has played with it and has also busted it. He was playing with it for probably half an hour just chomping down to make it crinkle and crunch. It's quite the loud ball!! I noticed the sound wasn't as loud so I took a peek and noticed my dog basically crushed the inner ball into a much smaller ball. He's still having a good time with it though. It's only a matter of time though that he's going to chew the outer shell because it doesn't make noise like it did.

Dogs go for this ball every time
Size: Large, Size: Large
My Boston's and Rotti love this ball. I had to get two more. It's great for the Boston's because they can grasp it with the way it's made with the softer rubber. They love the crackle sound. It's just the right size and weight for smaller like the Boston Terrier and Rotti. Easy cleaning, rinses right off.

My strong chewer is still ..... Well, going strong! He loves his new crackle ball. He enjoys the new sound, the bounce back feeling in his jaws when chews. Mom is happy that pup hasn't put a dent in the toy yet! Price was more than reasonable too. We give it 5 Paws Up!
