If wacky tropical plants are your thing, you’ll absolutely love these totally eccentric Tacca chantrieri (more commonly known as the 'Bat Flower' plant). Majestic, extraordinary and outlandish are just a few words you could use to sum up their incredible bat-like flowers, not forgetting bizarre. Another noteworthy characteristic is their big glossy green leaves, which are an attractive feature in themselves. The otherworldly appearance of these remarkable jungle plants are bound to cause a stir. Adapted to the rainforest understory, they like warm, moist conditions. Grow them in your conservatory or home and baffle your guests, or let them lurk in a shaded part of the patio for the summer months!
