Yacon 'Inka Red'

Smallanthus Sonchifolius

1L Plant (More info)

Yacon 'Inka Red'

1L Plant


Yacon 'Inka Red' is an exotic plant that produces large, crunchy, sweet and juicy tubers, with an unusual taste reminiscent of pear. Not easily found in shops, this low maintenance perennial is the perfect addition to your veg patch. The tall plants also produce sunflower-like blooms for a bit of added ornamental value!


Please note herbaceous plants naturally die-back during the colder months. We always ensure plants have at least some growth during this time, however when buying during October through to March, the growth may be minimal and there may be blemishes from winter cold.


What am I Buying?

1L refers to the volume of the pot, the roots are almost double the size of a 9cm pot. The size of the plant can vary greatly, most will be between 20-50cm tall unless they are naturally low growing plants or if you are buying herbaceous plants in winter.
