Comment |
forms huge, dark glossy mahogany leaves. Compared to 'Black
Swan', this variety is shorter and has a fuller habit. While
growing this plant, you'll appreciate its clumping nature,
which translates to more vigorously filling out a pot and
throwing up lots of new leaves. |
|
Care |
Dig
tubers, air dry for a day
and store between 45 and 55 degrees. |
