4 Cassava Cuttings, 6-8 inches, Manihot esculenta, Tropical Ornamental Plant for Edible Gardens & Landscaping

Add a bold tropical element to your garden or edible landscape with these 4 Fresh Cassava Cuttings (Manihot esculenta). Known for its striking green palmate foliage, cassava makes a beautiful ornamental plant while also being a staple in many traditional food gardens.

Each cutting is 6–8 inches, freshly cut and unrooted, ready for direct planting in warm, well-draining soil. Cassava is drought-tolerant, loves heat, and thrives in USDA zones 9–11, or can be grown in containers and brought indoors in cooler climates.

While these cuttings are offered primarily for their decorative landscape value, cassava is also valued for its edible roots (only safe to eat after proper cooking). It’s a great addition to tropical gardens, food forests, large containers, or permaculture spaces.
