- Full sun is essential for promoting vigorous growth and vibrant blooms.
Planting Details

- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
- Sunlight: Full sun is ideal, although partial shade can be tolerated in warmer climates.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging. Ensure about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry spells.
- Water deeply at the base of the plant to encourage strong root growth.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) when planting and again when the plants are about 6 inches tall.
- Continue to fertilize every 4–6 weeks throughout the growing season to encourage healthy growth and blooms.
Weeding and Mulching
- Regularly remove weeds around the base to prevent competition for nutrients.
- Mulch around the plants to retain moisture, keep soil cool, and suppress weeds.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Aphids and slugs can be problematic. Use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil to control pests.
- Diseases: To avoid fungal diseases, ensure proper air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Cut flowers when they are fully open but firm to the touch to ensure maximum vase life.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, carefully dig up the tubers, allow them to dry, and store them in a cool, dry location for winter storage.
Storage
Short-Term: Keep cut flowers in a vase with water, changing the water regularly to extend freshness. Long-Term: Store tubers in a cool, dry area, preferably at 40°F (4°C), using a breathable container like a paper bag or box lined with dry peat moss or sawdust.
