    Sadly, these tubers did not perform in my garden...planted in the same bed as other, thriving plants, but got nothing...too late to request replacement/refund...very disappointing for the money spent!

    Very easy to plant. They need some shade but mostly sun. Loamy soil and well-watered. You will be rewarded with multiple blooms that will last until the first frost.
