Growing Instructions:

Prefer full sun and must be given adequate spacing to accommodate their mature size.

Although not fussy about soil, they do require adequate drainage and do not tolerate wet feet.

Plan in easy spring or fall for best results.

Most of these plants are available as potted transplants or tuberous roots. They can also be seed grown. 

 

Although hard and moderately drought resistant, regular water is required in order for the plant to reach its full potential. Gardeners should be diligent with watering during hot and dry spells.

 

Provide a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to help with water retention and for protection during cold winters.
