Plant them in early spring once the risk of heavy frost has passed, or in late autumn in mild climates.
Plant the tubers approximately 3-5cm deep with the 'claws' pointing downwards.
Yes, using a balanced, fertile soil or adding a light application of granular fertilizer at planting helps support the heavy blooms.
In areas with mild winters and excellent drainage, they may survive, but in colder regions, it is safer to lift and store them.
Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Increase watering during dry spring spells, but allow the surface to dry slightly between waterings.
Yes, their compact 30-40cm height makes them an excellent choice for window boxes and patio containers.
Ensure they were soaked for one hour prior to planting and that the soil is not overly saturated or cold.
This is often caused by insufficient sunlight or over-watering; move to a sunnier spot and reduce irrigation frequency.
Check soil drainage; if the soil is waterlogged, the tubers may be suffering from rot. Improve drainage or relocate to a raised bed.
For successful growth, start by soaking the tubers in water for one hour before planting to rehydrate them. Plant the tubers 3-5cm deep in fertile, well-draining soil, ensuring they are situated in a location that receives full sun. Because they are sensitive to cold, damp winter conditions, ensure the drainage is excellent to prevent tuber rot. During the growing season, provide consistent water, especially during dry spells. Once flowering has finished, it is crucial to leave the foliage intact until it turns yellow and dies back naturally; this process allows the plant to store energy in the tuber for the following year. Protect the plants from heavy, freezing winds by placing them in sheltered spots or near south-facing walls.
