Product description

Sweet Root Yacon seeds produce a tall, herbaceous perennial plant known for its sweet, juicy underground tubers. This plant thrives in warm climates with a long growing season and performs best in loose, fertile, well-drained soils with consistent moisture. It develops vigorous stems and large leaves, making it suitable for garden beds and field cultivation. In practical cultivation, yacon is typically propagated using rhizomes or tuber divisions rather than true seeds to ensure uniform and reliable growth.
