Sunroot/Helianthi (Helianthus strumosus)

The sunroot – a robust relative of the Jerusalem artichoke with edible tubers.

Plants in 9cm pots.

This winter-hardy perennial grows up to 3.5m high and captivates with its yellow flowers in autumn as a short-day bloomer. The nutritious tubers are harvested in early winter after the foliage has died back and can be enjoyed raw or cooked. Ideal for natural gardens and self-sufficiency – a low-maintenance enrichment for any vegetable garden.
