Description

Canna edulis. 3.7L coir pot.

Native to South America, this fast-growing perennial produces edible starchy rhizomes, which are often used as a substitute for potatoes.

Can be used as a flour substitute too.

The young shoots are also edible and can be used as a green vegetable.

Great as a chop and drop mulch.

Arrowroot enjoys a full sun to part shade position in fertile soil, although it can handle most soil types.

It should grow about 2m in height. Ideal for screening.
