I have named this white ‘Blackbird’ to keep track of where I got it from. I am seeing some differences in white tubers and think that is used as a common name. This is a very nice variety with good tuber set. They handled the drought better than many varieties. Flowering started in October.

These tubers are available directly from Garden Faerie Botanicals in the heart of British Columbia, Canada. The collection features heirloom and heritage seeds that are personally cultivated organically without the use of any chemicals. Emphasizing historical, rare, non-GMO seeds, this selection preserves biodiversity through open-pollination.
