The variegated tapioca (known botanically as Manihot esculenta ‘Variegata’) will join the SuperSun Coleus as a non-blooming plant which provides a tropical flare to summer landscapes with its vivid chartreuse/yellow variegated foliage. It is so spectacular that it is listed on the Mercer Arboretum In bloom webpage for June at: http://www.hcp4.net/mercer/inbloom/june/ even though the blooms are not pictured. It bears spectacular leaves with creamy-yellow centers and carmine-red petioles (leafstalks). This tropical member of the family Euphorbiaceae can grow to be a large shrub or small tree in the tropics, but is useful in Texas as a festive summer annual or patio plant. One gallon plants can easily grow to be handsome 4 feet to 6 feet rounded mounds in a single growing season so young plants should be spaced 4 to 6 feet apart. Plants are initially upright growers becoming wider as the season progresses. The rubbery textured bold leaves can reach up to 8 inches long and are lobed. New growth is a handsome reddish pink and the lobes mature to sport white, creamy white, to yellow-green variegated splotches that follow the main veins. You don’t have to worry about variegated tapioca “going out of bloom”. Instead, the plants offer foliage as colorful as most flowers with the added advantage of providing a show all summer. Note the scientific name of this selection is ‘Variegata’ because of its variegated leaves. The common Tapioca which is native to South America (Brazil and Paraguay) has green leaves. Often this variegated form will have a green sprout or shoot appear. Any green shoots or foliage should be removed immediately or it will become dominant over the variegated foliage. The normal, green form of this plant will also grow much faster and larger than the variegated form. The ‘Variegata’ screams “fiesta” in the summer landscape and it is one of the few variegated plants on which the foliage will not be damaged by intense, direct summer sunlight. Plants work great as centerpieces where taller plants are needed in the center of circular plantings or as backgrounds for lower growing annual bedding plants. Perhaps the premier use of this variegated plant is as a patio or dooryard container specimen where it thrives despite the reflected heat from concrete or pavement. Tapioca is one of the common names of Manihot esculenta ‘Variegata’ as is cassada, cassava, manioc, yuca, mandioca, shushu, muk shue, cassave, maniok, tapioka, imanoka, maniba, kasaba, katela boodin. The reason we chose the name tapioca is because it is the name of a favorite dessert of mine – tapioca pudding. Tapioca is sort of like Poke Salad made from Poke weed in the Southeastern U.S.– if the cook doesn’t know what he is doing, the meal will kill you! Cooking destroys the prussic acid. In South America, the green leafed Tapioca is grown for its enlarged starch-filled tuberous roots. There is a bitter, poisonous- and a sweet, – nonpoisonous variety of tapioca; however the skin stays poisonous and the sweet variety must be peeled. There are hydrocyanic glucosides (HCN) in all parts of the plant; these glucosides are removed by peeling and boiling in water. The peeled roots of the sweet variety is what the original tapioca pudding was made. I remember enjoying a version of this when I was a baby in Tennessee. I wonder if they were trying to poison me?!? The root of the bitter variety is very poisonous when raw but cooking destroys the hydrocyanic acid — the cooking water must be discarded just as when cooking Poke Salad. The young leaves are used as vegetable and contain a high amount of vitamin A and C but older leaves are not often used. The bitter ones are grated, diluted in water and pressed in a cylindrical basket-work “press” to extract the juice. The paste of tapioca can be baked into pancake-like bread while the extracted juice is fermented into a strong liquor called kasiri. The juice can also be concentrated and sweetened until it becomes a dark viscous syrup called kasripo (casareep). This syrup has antiseptic properties and is used for flavoring. All of this is to warn folks that variegated tapioca is a clone of a tropical food plant, however, the milky sap of the foliage contains cyanide compounds and SHOULD NOT BE EATEN. Instead of eating this beautiful ornamental plant, go to the closest fast food place to satisfy your hunger. Also, don’t worry about your pets eating enough to hurt themselves because all parts of the plants contain distasteful cyanide compounds and have a rough texture which is not very palatable. Deer will eat tapioca but it does not spoil the venison. Variegated tapioca is a heat lover being from South America and does not grow vigorously until night temperatures are warm in spring In fact the foliage will exhibit chilling injury when night temperatures dip much below 50 degrees F. As long as it is hot, variegated tapioca will thrive in most any well drained soil or container potting mix, tolerating a wide range of pH. Variegated tapioca responses to supplemental fertilization of a side-dress application (one cup full distributed evenly around the plant) of a slow-release formulation every month and weekly irrigation in lieu of rainfall– the soil should be constantly moist and mulch should be used. Plants will grow just as well in alkaline (South central Texas) soil as they will in acidic (East Texas) soils. They are somewhat tolerant to foliar salt exposure in the Coastal Bend area. Full sun brings out the best foliage color, but plants will tolerate partial shade although the foliage will be less dense and not as vibrant in color. Avoidance of over-watering is critical to success-this is NOT a swamp plant. Variegated tapioca offers a bold exciting tropical addition to our summer palette of annuals used for foliage color in Texas. This plant has been used at one time or another in every major Botanical Garden in Texas. The first planting I was impressed by was at Stephen F. Austin and planted by Greg Grant. I later learned that Paul Cox had used it at the San Antonio Botanical Garden in the 1980’s. Try some this summer and enjoy the foliage of South America. From May to frost, whatever the temperature, this plant’s creamy yellow markings do not fade. It looks good in containers or in garden beds, and you can use it in the foreground or as a focal point in distant plantings. Variegated tapioca attains a height and width of 3 to 4 feet. It is normally grown as an annual, but can be overwintered indoors. -Allan Armitage, Plant picks, Fine Gardening issue #121 Noteworthy CharacteristicsStriking foliage all season long. CareGrow in full sun to partial shade and moist, fertile soil. Set out plants in mid- to late spring when warm temperatures arrive. Once temperatures climb to more than 70°F, plants will shoot up quickly. Provide plants with a slow-release fertilizer at the start of the season, and water as needed. Before the first frost, place plants indoors in a warm area under fluorescent lights until spring. PropagationIn midwinter, place two- to three-node stem cuttings flat on the soil surface. Transplant new shoots to their final containers when they reach 1 to 2 inches long. Genus : Manihot Zones : 10, 11 Plant Height : 3 to 6 feet Plant Width : 3 to 6 feet Uses : Containers Growth Rate : Fast Light : Full Sun to Partial Shade Maintenance : Low Moisture : Medium Moisture Plant Type : Perennials Characteristics : Showy Foliage Plant Seasonal Interest : Summer Interest Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don’t have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
