TACCA SEEDS

The Tacca genus, commonly known as Bat Flower or Devil’s Flower, is an exotic and mysterious member of the Dioscoreaceae family. These herbaceous perennials are celebrated for their unusual, bat-shaped flowers in shades of black, purple, green, or brown, accompanied by long, thread-like bracts that add to their dramatic appearance. Tacca brings an otherworldly touch to shaded gardens, conservatories, and tropical landscapes.

Native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia, Africa, and Australia, Tacca thrives in moist, well-drained soils and partially to fully shaded locations with high humidity. These unique plants are ideal for creating a focal point in warm, humid environments. Popular species such as Tacca chantrieri, or Black Bat Flower, and Tacca integrifolia, or White Bat Flower, are particularly admired for their striking floral displays.

The Tacca genus combines beauty, intrigue, and tropical elegance, making it a perfect choice for plant enthusiasts and gardeners seeking rare and captivating specimens that thrive in shaded, humid conditions.
