Planting
Choose full sun or light shade and well-drained garden soil improved with organic matter. Set tubers around 5–8 cm / 2–3 in deep in small groups or containers.
Care
Expect the foliage to die down after flowering. In colder regions, grow it as an annual or lift and store the tubers for replanting.
Before planting: All parts are toxic if swallowed in quantity, and fresh sap can irritate skin; wear gloves when handling.
