The Green Taro is commonly called "Elephant Ears" but any of
the Taro have large Elephant-Like ears. Although Tropical plants, they are great for Northern
climates as they easily winter over indoors. A 15 gallon pot kept just under the water in your pond,
with 3 plants will give you great foliage in 90 days. In the fall, before any chance of frost, pull
the pot out and let it drain for a day, then bring inside and keep wet. Return to the pond in the
Spring. Tropical bog plants accent the water garden by adding color and shape.
Our plants are grown in 2" net pots to insure good root development
to reduce transplant shock. Our method of growing the bog plants in this way reduces the likelihood
of the plant dying back like bare root stock normally would. The size of the plant that we ship
varies by variety. We try to ship plants that are semi-mature not just new starts. These should do
very well in your pond.

RESTRICTED PLANTS:
Some states have bans on certain pond plants. Check the
USDA Noxious Plants website
prior to purchase. The buyer needs to beware of any regulations
on plants that may be restricted. If your order gets confiscated
by your state agriculture department we cannot be held responsible.
CLIMATE VARIATIONS:
We guarantee our plants will arrive alive and healthy. Pond Plants
grow differently depending on where you live. If you took pond plants
of the same type, and planted them in different parts of the USA,
each plant would grow differently. This is Mother Nature at work.
We cannot guarantee that your climate will support long term growth
as this varies by location. With experience you will find which
pond plants thrive in your
USDA Zone. Join our
Pond, Watergarden
and Plant Forum and ask some questions before you buy
is the best advice we can give you.
SUBSTITUTIONS: We
reserve the right to substitute similar plants of equal or greater
value unless you specifically request otherwise in the remarks section
of your order. This happens almost never though, and if it does
happen it is usually in regard to floating and submerged oxygenation
plants.
