How to Grow It
Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and stake early, as the stems need support once the blooms get going. Pinch the center shoot when plants are young to encourage branching and more flowers. Disbud side buds if you want the largest possible blooms for exhibition. Lift and store tubers after the first frost.
