Taccarum caudatum Eruption Crambe discovered by plantsman Hans HansenTaccarum caudatum is an amazing hardy tuberous aroid (think arum, arisaema, amorphophallus), but without the aroma. Hailing from Bolivia, Peru, and Northern Brazil, taccarum have no business being winter hardy for us in Zone 7b, but after a decade in the ground, they not only return, but thrive and multiply.
