Lovely! Take some of the root 'tubers' off and you can propagate lots of spare plants.

Re: Time for a repot!!
For me this plant grows like a weed! I have had success growing plants from cuttings of the top growth as well as pieces of tuber, both types produce large underground tubers in quite a short time. Like Mike no one seems to want any of them. My plants tend to produce droopy growth although I have seen pictures of more upright growing plants
The pictured plant was in an 18cm sq. pot 18cm deep and has now gone into a 30cm deep sq. pot. Seems to produce masses of flowers for me.
Due to space issues the other large plant has had to be sacrificed, but I weighed the tubers out of interest at just over 600g and this was the smaller of the two!

Remind me and I’ll bring one to the talk in the autumn. I can’t get it to flower but others do.
