A fast-growing creeper with large purplish-pink trumpet flowers and Edible tubers related to the Sweet potato. Bush potatoes were cooked on the hot earth beside the fire, and the potato is still eaten in the desert today.
In the kitchen use it as you would sweet or normal potato. Very fast growing but can be sensitive to frost although they will recover. Native of the Southern Kimberley and Pilbara areas of West Australia extending into Central Australia.

Adaptable to most well-drained garden soils in a sunny position.

Please Note: Although many of the traditional Bush Food and Medicine plants are now commercially produced in various forms we recommend you re-search these before using them as any form of food or medicine. Some parts of the plant may not be edible or some may need to be prepared before they are safe to eat or use in any way. We do our best to describe their traditional & modern uses. It is the purchaser's responsibility to ensure they are fit for their intended use.
