Hi everyone!
I just harvested about 30 seeds from my giant hardy tapiocas and wanted to see if anyone would be interested in growing some. It's a really cool plant, hardy for me (zone 7b) and listed as potentially hardy up to Boston. Also makes a good annual, grows fast, drought-tolerant, and is a really bold-looking tropical plant. Makes some of the coolest leaves I've ever seen on a non-CP. The seed capsules explode too!
It's also fairly rare in cultivation.

I'd be looking primarily for flytrap cultivars, especially B52.
