Taro, Golden, Colocasia esculenta

Grow your edible paradise with tropical looks! This taro looks terrific, much better than the usual potato patch, especially when combined with other leaf colours and shapes.

Tubers are eaten cooked.

Taro can be grown as an understory plant in your food forest.

Taro can be grown either in water-logged soil, around a pond or in semi-aquatic conditions or in the garden with regular water.

Plant in soil rich in organic matter.
