Germination

Sow indoors. Surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost. Just cover with a sprinkling of soil. Light is needed for germination. Propagate. Ideal temp. 22-23°C. Germination takes 7-14 days. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots and grow on in cooler conditions 18-22°C. Acclimatise and plant out once danger of frost has passed with 50cm spacing.

Growing

Prefers a fertile, well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil in partial shade. Allow soil to dry out between waterings. This is a tender plant. Dig up the tubers before the first frost and store them while they are dormant in a cool, dry place. A shed or garage is ideal. Replant tubers in spring.

Cultivation

Deadhead to extend the flowering window.
