Fockea edulis Plants Common Name: Hottentot bread
These plants will be sent without pots and soil free. We'll remove the plants from the soil as it not only increases postage but also makes the parcel unstable. Below is a photo of one of the actual plants that are in 10cm pots.

Fockea edulis is a cauciciform vine, with a tuber that may reach up to 12 inches in diameter in cultivation. It is said that the Hottentots used to eat the tuber. It is a native of South Africa that flowers during summer. The flowers are green about 1cm wide, not very showy, but lightly scented. Though the name 'edulis' indicates the plant is edible, a long and elaborated cooking procedure is however required to rid the plant of the alkaloids which are present. We do not suggest plants for consumption!
