Default Re: Oklahoma tropics?

You should definitely try growing some of the many different types of elephant ears (Alocasia, Colocasia, and Xanthosoma). Some will be hardy in your area, others will not. The tender ones can either be grown in the ground and then lifted in the fall and stored for the winter or grown in a pot and stored for the winter.
