How to Grow It
Plant in a sunny spot with rich, well-draining soil and give your plant plenty of room to reach its full, upright height. Pinch out the growing tip early in the season to encourage branching and a generous flush of stems. Deadhead regularly to keep your plant producing blooms right through until frost. Stake your plant when young, as the tall growth can become top-heavy in wind. In cold climates, lift your tubers after the first frost and store them somewhere cool and dry over winter.
