Growing Kenora Ontario
Plant tubers in full sun after your last frost date, spacing them generously apart. Stake early, as the large blooms can become top-heavy in wind. Pinch the central bud once three sets of leaves have formed to encourage bushier growth and more flower laterals. Water deeply but infrequently, keeping soil consistently moist without waterlogging. Lift and store tubers before hard frost each autumn.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Staking recommended once buds set
