Taro 'Taro'

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

Keep in mind when planting that Taro 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. Ideally plant in sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.5 as Taro likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

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

Botanical Name: esculent is an English word taken directly from Latin and means “edible”.¹
