Planting & Care

Plant in well-draining soil with the pointed end up. Choose a site that doesn't pool water after heavy rain — or amend with compost to raise the bed 2–3 inches. Water thoroughly after planting; roots develop in autumn and flowers emerge in spring. After blooming, leave foliage in place until it yellows and dies back. Works well in containers too — use quality, well-draining potting mix.
