Planting & Care

Choose a full-sun location with well-draining soil and plant rhizomes about 6 inches deep with the eyes facing upward, spacing them 18–24 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil. During the first growing season, maintain regular watering to establish strong root systems, then reduce frequency as the plant matures since it becomes drought tolerant. In spring, apply a phosphorus-rich slow-release fertilizer to promote abundant flowering. After the first frost, cut back dead foliage to about 6 inches and remove any yellowed or damaged leaves throughout the season to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage vigorous new growth.
