Growing Info

🕰️ Planting Time:
Late winter to early spring (August–October), after frost risk has passed and soil begins to warm.

📍 Position:
Sunny, open spot with at least 6 hours of direct sun per day.

🌱 Soil:
Light, fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter.

💧 Watering:
Moderate, consistent watering—keep soil moist but not soggy. Water at the base and avoid wetting the leaves.

🍽️ Feeding:
Apply a balanced fertiliser when buds form, then switch to a high-potassium feed every few weeks for better blooms.

✂️ Maintenance:
Deadhead faded flowers to prolong blooming. Remove yellowing leaves as needed.

🛏️ Overwintering:
In frost-prone areas, lift and store tubers in a dry, cool space once foliage has died down. In warmer zones, tubers may be left in well-draining soil over winter.
