Description
Supplied: Two rooted cuttings.
Description:
A variety that produces small, unpalatable tubers but has tender leaves with a mild flavour. An excellent perennial edible groundcover that is tasty raw or cooked. Vines are vigorous and will climb anything they touch and send down roots wherever they find soil. Can be grown in containers but will try to escape if not regularly harvested.
Planting instructions:
Plant runners in a trench so that as much of the stem is covered with soil as possible, with leaves above the soil level. This will facilitate the development of extra roots.
Water daily for the first two weeks, after which water during dry periods. Tubers are most commonly harvested in Autumn. If grown in an area with ‘hard frosts’, some tubers should be reserved over Winter from which to grow new plants the following Spring, however the plants do not die off over Winter in areas with only light frosts.
