Tacca integrifolia is a rather unassuming herbaceous plant, growing to two feet in height. It has one of the most stunning blooms in the botanical world, comprised of a single inflorescence, with bracts and several flowers in various stages of budding and blooming. A couple of different types of bracts are presented, two large upright white bracts with purple coloration, which form the “ears” or maybe the “wings” of the “bat,” and long tendril bracts, dark purple in color and up to a foot long or more, which look like whiskers. This is yet another example of a plant with a bloom which to us, looks like a single flower, but which is actually a structure holding many flowers.

These are relatively easy plants to grow at home. They need rich, well-draining soil, a lot of shade, and protection from frosts and northern winds in the winter.
