I have this beautiful elephant ears on my patio which grows like a beast! I live in the Central Coast/NSW/Australia, which has a humid temperature. I will be moving to the Blue Mountains, which falls to below 50 Fahrenheit/ 10 Celsius in winter. I have read that she can/can't survive these cold temperatures, and that if I keep her potted/sheltered/out of the rain/wind, and mulched she could survived. Totally confused! I would like to plant her in the garden eventually, as she is just non stop growing and has flowered/pollinated at least 3 times in the past 6 months. I'd hate for her to die if the new conditions aren't suitable for her, so would rather give her away then move her and see that happen. So, can anyone share their knowledge with me as to whether I can take her to a colder environment and leave her potted, transplant her into the garden in the Blue Mountains, or even cut her back and keep her bulbs ready for next summer. Really don't want to cut her though as she is a mature plant and I would hate to see her majesticness taken away. Thanks in advance. Steph
