This organic bare root plant is an excellent choice for naturalizing in woodland gardens, along fences, or in pollinator-friendly landscapes. Its vigorous vines can quickly cover trellises and arbors, adding lush greenery to vertical spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWild Yam is a low-maintenance plant that thrives in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is dioecious, with separate male and female plants, and produces small, greenish-yellow flowers in late spring to summer. The vines die back in winter and re-emerge in spring from the tuberous roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwining perennial vine with heart-shaped leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic and non-GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDioecious species with separate male and female plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for naturalizing and woodland gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dioscorea villosa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial shade to full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained, loamy soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil consistently moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twining vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-15 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant bare roots in spring after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a location with partial to full shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, place the roots horizontally, and cover with 2-3 inches of soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist until new growth appears. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvide a trellis or support for the vines to climb. Water regularly during dry periods, but avoid waterlogged soil. Wild Yam is generally low-maintenance and does not require frequent fertilization. Prune back dead growth in late fall or early spring to encourage healthy new growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 bare root Wild Yam plants (Dioscorea villosa).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836022882614,"sku":"FOLIA2-1873","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6567139654_8kto.jpg?v=1793097441","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/5-bare-root-wild-yam-plants-organic-perennial-vine","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
