HAVE: Groundnut (Apios americana)

11 years ago

I have well rooted Apios americana. It's a pretty awesome native, I love it. You can eat the tubers, it makes beautiful flowers and it's easy.

I'm only looking for herbs, container plants and tropicals at this time. Thanks.

Hey, I'm really interested in our apios, they used to be found close by but now they are hard to find. I've plenty of houseplants and tropicals. Let me know if you want to trade. Thanks

Yes, I love tulip trees! Babies or seeds? Do you have sweet bubby seedlings as well? I have several things that aren't on my list so if see something that you may want I may have it, so just ask. You can email me directly if you choose to. Thanks

Very interesting. Do you actually eat them? What do they taste like?

I had some seeds that might have been from an apios, and planted them this spring. When dug the area up this fall, found two very tiny strings of tiny tubers about a quarter of an inch long. I wonder if those were apios. I didn't see any vines, they must have been very small plants. Maybe because the area dried out more than expected. Replanted them in another container with less drainage. Will see what happens next year.

i planted some ground nut last fall... a couple of my tubers broke as well.... they were pretty small and i have yet to see any growth this year (the soil may be too dense, though). hopefully they will grow and when the time is right, send up some shoots. hey ncrescue, would you care to share the seeds from your plants?
