Tink,
Are you going to take your elephant ears up and store them for the winter? Or, chance it by leaving them in the ground. (because if you were going to store them. Mine went crazy like that too, they are just huge. I've been bringing boxes home from work to store them like last year. I took them and dug them up, then cut the leaves and stems off. Then I wrapped them in newspaper, put them in boxes and stored them in my crawl space under the house. I'm afraid to leave them out all winter, it would be my luck we would have a very cold winter and they would freeze on me. I do my banana's and canna's the same way.
