Flowering Season (All Year)
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
Under optimum conditions, flowering can be seen on this hybrid all year round.
Planting Season (Spring)
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Tubers should be planted in a well drained potting mix, close to the surface, where it will sprout a rosette of leaves only an inch or so about the soil. Water sparingly until new growth shows. Repot where necessary once it becomes too crowded.
