Planting guide
Plant tubers in spring once frost risk has passed, or buy as young plants. Choose a sunny spot with free-draining soil, and feed regularly through summer to encourage flowering. Water well in dry spells, especially if growing in pots.
Care tips
Feed with a high-potash fertiliser every two weeks during the flowering season and deadhead regularly to keep new blooms coming. Water thoroughly in dry spells, particularly if grown in containers. Lift tubers in autumn if winter frosts are a risk.
Winter care
Lift tubers after the first frost in colder regions, dry them out, and store in a cool, frost-free place. In milder areas, mulch heavily and leave in situ if soil drains well.
