Answers:
The clawlike bulbs, more correctly tubers, come in four grades or sizes. The largest, called jumbos, are the ones you should rely upon; they are at least 7 to 8 centimeters (2-3/4 to 3-1/8 inches) in circumference, or about 7/8 inch in diameter. Number one tubers are slightly smaller, 6 to 7 centimeters (2-1/4 to 2-3/4 inches); number twos are 5 to 6 centimeters (2 to 2-1/4 inches); and number threes, which are rare at retail, are 3 to 4 centimeters (1-1/8 to 2-1/4 inches).
Certain varieties can get up to 5" in diameter. They aren't very difficult to grow but it really depends on your climate. They don't like a lot of rain because it will make the foliage weak. They grow well with lots of sunlight. Don't let the soil get dry and if the leaves start to yellow and turn black stop watering them. If you have relatively mild winters (temps above 10F) then you can plant them in the autumn however if you have very cold winters you should wait until spring to plant them.
