Quick growing tuberous plants from Northern China. Above ground the foliage resembles mint and forms a good ground cover, whilst below ground numerous small knobbly tubers are formed. These can be harvested in late autumn once the foliage dies down. They can be eaten raw, tasting crisp and sweet rather like a water chestnut. Cooked they become more starchy, tasting more like a slightly nutty potato. In France they are known as crosnes and are typically served braised in herbs and butter.
9cm pot containing 1-5 tubers plus top growth, certified organic plants.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
