How to Grow It
Plant your tubers in full sun after your last frost date, once the soil has warmed. Pinch the main stem early to encourage branching and a higher bloom count. Stake at planting time before tubers go in the ground. Water deeply but infrequently, and keep the crown dry to prevent rot. Switch to a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds begin to form. In cold climates, lift and store your tubers after the first frost and keep them in a cool, dry place over winter.
