Minimum: 10+ Seeds

Bring the exotic crunch of Thai Jicama to your home garden. This heirloom variety produces succulent, sweet, and refreshing roots prized by home gardeners, chefs, homesteaders, and seed collectors alike. Perfect for salads, slaws, snacking, and fresh salsas, Thai Jicama delivers a crisp, subtly sweet bite that makes every dish sing with garden-fresh flavor. Its vigorous vines thrive in warm climates, offering both edible roots and striking greenery to your garden.

Why Thai Jicama Stands Out:
Thai Jicama grows as a sprawling, heat-tolerant vine with delicate, heart-shaped leaves and bright, fragrant blossoms. Beneath the soil, it forms crisp, round roots ranging from 4–6 inches in diameter, each offering the sweet, watery texture that jicama lovers crave. The roots remain tender and delicious even in hot weather, making this a reliable choice for summer gardens and tropical-inspired plantings.

Key Features:
🌱 Sweet, Crisp Roots – Perfect for fresh eating, salads, and slaws
🍴 Garden-Fresh Flavor – Mildly sweet with a clean, refreshing crunch
🏡 Dual-Purpose Vines – Attractive climbing greenery ideal for trellises and arbors
🌿 Heirloom & Open-Pollinated – Non-GMO, perfect for seed saving and preserving heritage varieties
🔥 Heat-Loving & Vigorous – Thrives in warm climates, summer gardens, and tropical zones
🌾 Reliable Yields – Produces multiple roots per vine for continuous harvests

Cultural & Culinary Significance:
Thai Jicama has been cultivated in Southeast Asia for generations, celebrated for its crisp, refreshing roots and versatility in fresh, raw cuisine. Traditionally used in salads, fresh rolls, and tangy salsas, this heirloom connects modern gardeners to centuries of culinary tradition while providing a high-performing, unique vegetable for contemporary kitchens.

Growing Tips for Success:

• Sowing: Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost in cooler climates; direct sow in warm soil once danger of frost has passed

• Soil: Prefers loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter to allow roots to expand unhindered

• Sun: Full sun for optimal growth; vines can tolerate partial shade in very hot climates

• Spacing: Plant seeds 6–8 inches apart, with vines trained along trellises or supports

• Watering: Keep consistently moist during root development; reduce slightly as harvest nears to concentrate flavor

• Harvest: Roots are ready when they reach 4–6 inches in diameter, usually 90–120 days after sowing, depending on climate

• Temperature: Thrives in warm soil and air temperatures; frost will damage both leaves and roots
