African Potato Mint is an incredibly hardy fast growing ground cover. If you are looking for a super low maintenance ground cover capable of producing food, this is it! Potato mint loves the heat and requires at least 6 months of warm growing conditions to produce the tubers which can weigh up to 4lbs! These naturally pest resistant plants thrive on neglect and at seasons end when the plant goes dormant, just scoop all the tubers out of the soil, being sure to leave a few for next season. These potatoes can be baked, boiled, buttered or roasted just like any other potato. The leaves and flowers have been said to be edible as well.
