Feast and famine , this easy to grow plant gives hundreds of tubercles . These are small tuberous offsets that form on the top surface of the mother tuber. They can take years to sprout , but ensure the plant forms a colony eventually . In hard times the tubers are eaten , I have not tried , but the way things are going it is handy knowledge to have . Mature tuber can get to 30 cms , and stem up to 2m high . This species also has attractive variegation on the foliage at times .
Infloresence is only small , and the fragrance is not putrid .
