Will take over an area with good soil, and is a heavy feeder. Probably should be naturalized in a field. Considered invasive in Canada. Used by native Americans for centuries, and the vegetation can be used for animal fodder. A couple tubers will turn into 50 in a couple years, so it has cash crop potential. | Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |
