Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant tubers outdoors after the risk of frost has passed in fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot and water regularly during dry periods.
Care tips
Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous flowering and feed every few weeks during the growing season for the best display.
Winter care
In colder areas, lift tubers after the first frost and store in a cool, frost-free place over winter. In milder regions, protect with a deep mulch if left in the ground.
