…Lushe Foliage…Multiple Long Serving Amazing Flowers..
BLACK BAT PLANT
Tacca chantrieri (80cmAbcD)
produces the most unusual and striking flowers. The flower is black with long sinister tentacles hanging down wards. They are both long serving andnumerous. Its leaves are lushe, broad and about 40 cm long.
They are quite hardy once grown up but need to be nurtured over their first winter in cooler climates than sub-tropical. Give your Bat Plant a real well drained potting mix with good moisture in the summer but keep just moist in the winter. They do not like the cold frosty weather outside so you will need a warm spot, under shelter or inside. Can grow in a protected spot in the garden in sub-tropical and tropical areas otherwise in a pot. Keep it under medium heavy to heavy shade. Large strong plants 40cm tall in 100mm pots.
