Plant your tubers in well-draining soil once the danger of frost has passed. Stake taller varieties early to prevent the heavy blooms from snapping the stems. Watch for signs of aphids or powdery mildew on the leaves and treat them promptly.
- Riego
- Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged to prevent the tubers from rotting.
- Abonado
- Use a low nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season to encourage more flowers instead of just foliage.
- Poda
- Deadhead spent blooms regularly to keep the plant producing new flowers throughout the season.
- Trasplante
- Tubers should be lifted and stored in a cool, dry place over winter in colder climates.
