@EmmaStubbs if you like colocasia's you can cheat and buy them dirt cheap in ethnic grocers! They are called eddoes or arbi. I buy them buy the kilo and dead easy to grow. See my page theirs photos on there! 👍😎

Thanks @drnicko I will look into that! I got some from Eden Exotics to overwinter inside but for more impact that would be great! Would you get them now or in spring?

@EmmaStubbs I'd get them early spring as they sprout after a few weeks and need warmth to get going. They grow quick!! Just look for ones with a little growth spurt....I always get weird looks going through the exotic veg section! 😂😂
