Growing Tropical

Plant tubers in full sun after your last frost date, setting them about four inches deep in well-drained soil. Pinch out the central growing tip once plants reach knee height to encourage side shoots and maximize flower count. Water regularly at the base and apply a low-nitrogen fertilizer every few weeks once buds form. Stake early, as stems can reach three feet or more. Cut blooms frequently to keep new buds coming until frost.

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