Description Fine Print
 
Tacca chantrieri 'Nivea', the white bat flower, is a botanically intriguing plant with unusual large, white bracts hovering above dark purple flowers, resemble flying bats, with long, hanging dark purple to white whiskers. The 5-6 inch wide inflorescence emerges during the summer or fall from a rhizome bearing shiny, ribbed, green leaves that are very ornamental. Plants can reach 18-24 inches high and wide. In colder climates they make an excellent indoor potted plant but require high humidity and consistently moist soil. The long lasting inflorescences are also good as cut flowers.
