Growing Eclatant

Plant tubers in full sun after the last frost, spacing generously to allow good airflow. Stake early to support the tall stems before they need it. Pinch the growing tip when plants reach knee height to encourage branching and more cut stems. Water deeply but let the soil partially dry between waterings. Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once flower buds form. Lift and store tubers before the first hard freeze.

Spacing
Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking
Staking recommended once buds set
