black taro advice

19 years ago

Hello: I had a great time growing green elephant ears on my deck last year and this year I would like to grow the black variety. I have only found them in small pots, plants 1' tall, at a local garden centre in the pond section. Will I find the tubers for sale anywhere? Suggestions and help are greatly appreciated.

Try a post on Exchanges - ask if anyone has any to spare and see if someone offers you some for postage or trade. That is how I got mine a while back..
Good luck,
