Care Instructions
It needs a sunny, sheltered site with good drainage and can be difficult to over-winter in an average border. In cold areas lift tubers before first frosts and keep frost-free over winter. Try growing it in a largish pot, which is then brought into a shed and kept barely moist during the winter.
