Growing Mingus Phillip Sr

Plant tubers after the last frost date when soil has warmed, with the eye facing up a hand's depth below the surface. Stake at planting time, as the large blooms will need support before they reach full size. Pinch the center shoot above the third set of leaves to encourage multiple branching stems. Water deeply and consistently at the base, and feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds begin to form.

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