Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal growth, plant your tubers in well-drained, fertile soil once the danger of spring frost has passed. Ensure the planting hole is deep enough to accommodate the tuber, typically with the crown positioned just below the surface. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season. As the plant develops, provide a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks to support the heavy floral output. Once the first autumn frost browns the foliage, carefully lift the tubers from the ground, clean off excess soil, and store them in a cool, dry, frost-free environment such as a garage or basement until the following spring.
