A very cool and easy growing tuber crop. Grows in a shallow but standing water environment. Can be grown in kiddie pools with a few inches of soil with a few inches of water on top. Summer season crop harvested when foliage dies back leaving a few tubers to come back the next year. Hardy to zone 9+ but can be grown in summer in northern climates if you store some tubers indoors over winter. Spreads fast filling it's media over the summer season. Live plants in 4" pots for $5 each plus shipping.

Please inquire on thread or via PM. No posting from me for plants is time sensitive. These are usually species I always have and propagate for myself for my homestead purposes. Time of year is the only factor on the availability of some species. Unless I lose a species/variety most stuff I offer will be available again eventually so ask anytime.

Thanks! Derrick
