Taro 'Tea Cup'

May be grown as an annual or brought inside in colder areas.²

Keep in mind when planting that Tea Cup is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Tea Cup needs a sandy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Tea Cup is a tender plant.
