I just picked up a 4-pack at local box store for 5bucks. They look pretty good, starting to sprout in the bag. Planting today in yogart containers with potting mix that has the wetting agent added.. They are long tubers and I'm planting them longways 1/2" deep. I'll keep this updated. BTW, there were 6 in the package.

pycnocarpon: pycnos for "compact, close"; carpos for "fruit"
