They do flower. It's similar to the peace lily.

if you put elephant ears in the google search bar, one of the options will be "FULL SUN"!!!! My elephant Ears are grown in Full Sun with daily watering and there Huge!! 72 inches by 89 inches They grow this big in a month and a half. Hers look pretty small to be showing in the fall! They should be bigger than her lol

jcevr, she didn't mention anything about watering. But....I do agree they do need lots of water.

I love your video on elephant ears, and am glad that you mentioned their importance as a food crop! Just so you know, here in Florida they do flower with inflorescences much like peace lilies. They smell kinda sweet too!

Also, mine are in Texas sun, get LOTS of water, and I now have leaves about 37 inches long and 30 inches wide. These are only the 5th and 6th leaves. So some of what they say in this video is not completely accurate. They do need LOTS of water tho.
