Planting & Care Guide
  • Light: Performs best in full sun to light partial shade. A bright, sheltered spot yields the most profuse blooming.
  • Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining soil. If planting in heavy clay, amend the soil with organic matter to improve drainage.
  • Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Water deeply whenever the top 5–8 cm (2–3 inches) of soil feels dry.
  • Hardiness: Generally hardy in USDA zones 8–11. In cooler climates (like the UK and Ireland), apply a thick layer of winter mulch over the tubers or bring patio containers into a frost-free garage for the winter.
