Elephant Ears - I wait for a frost to knock down the leaves, then dig em and let dry for a few days before storing.

Hi,
I also recommend waiting until after the first frost or two. That way the foliage will get knocked down, telling the plants it is time to store sugars for winter. Just make sure you dig before the ground freezes.
