While many types of elephant ears aren't cold hardy, such as the Alocasia varieties, Colocasia varieties such as 'Maui Gold' are dependable outdoor perennials. This one can handle winter low temperatures of 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit when growing in the ground. It can also be grown in pots, which can be overwintered indoors if necessary or kept inside as a houseplant year round. A more recent member of the Royal Hawaiian Elephant Ear Series from the breeding program of Hawaii's Dr. John Cho, Maui Gold forms about a 3 foot tall by 2 foot wide clump of large, vibrant golden lime green leaves on golden stems that is sure to bring a look and feel of the tropics to the landscape or patio. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, Maui Gold thrives in full sun or shade, is super heat and humidity tolerant, and prefers life on the moist to wet side, even in containers in the garden pond. Sure to be an eye-catcher and conversation piece in the garden!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing in an upright clump 24 to 40 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, the Maui Gold Elephant Ear thrives in garden beds or in containers that can be situated in the margin of the garden pond or year round indoors as a houseplant. In the garden, it is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces, in groupings or as a natural hedge in larger spaces, or as a solo or combined with other moisture-loving plants in containers which, as mentioned, can be submerged to the water level in the garden pond.
