• I'm not sure how it'll do over the winter. I think we might stick it in a pot and bring it in as a winter houseplant if it survives that long. Apparently it puts out a leaf every week?!
    I think it should be edible although all taros are poisonous unless cooked. Not sure if you can eat it without killing it through - it's the tuber you eat right?

  • Clay pot will definitely help specially in this heat. Just found out about taros in the latest Gardeners World (lovely Jamaican lady with tropical garden in the UK used it to get the garden looking jungly). Tbh did not know about them before (despite of having an elephant's ear in the living room)

  • Got a pot in mind but it's got a dahlia in it at the moment. For now it'll have to be content with a regular dunking in a bucket
