Planting & Care

Plant after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Lay the tuber horizontally with the eye facing upward, approximately 4–6 inches deep. Avoid soggy soil and water consistently once growth begins. Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In cold climates, lift and store tubers frost-free for winter.
