Hi Kate, not knowing where you live makes it tricky to answer this… My first suggestion is always to talk to gardeners and food growers in your area. Failing that, if you live in Australia here are some online options: https://growthymenursery.com.au/products/yacon, https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/Perennialveg/yacon.htm, https://allrareherbs.com.au/product/yacon-plant/, https://foodforestplants.com.au/product/yacon-smallanthus-sonchifolius-high-yielding-edible-tubers-for-self-sufficiency/ Otherwise, an online search for sources within your country. REmember, when you search on line to always use the full scientific name as well as the local/common name. I would enter: Yacon, Smallanthus sonchifolius. Good luck with your search!

You’re welcome, Fran. I think yacon was originally a rain forest plant or perhaps an edge plant, so it makes sense to me that it would need moist, protected, fertile soil to really perform well. It does seem to cope with neglect, which is part of its appeal to me, but I’m making an effort to take better care of it ;). I found another good link about it, which I’ll add to the post above. Thanks for commenting!

I’m glad it was helpful, Wendy. Thanks for commenting 🙂
