Please note that this purchase is for the entire plants worth of tubers. Which means a box of potato looking objects - not flowers! A single tuber sold in the spring is typically valued between $8 - $12 each. A plants worth of tubers can range between 3-10 tubers. This is a great saving! The only catch is that you have to over-winter the tubers yourself.
