Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Unless you can provide a minimum outdoor temperature of 15C, it is best planted in pots which can be overwintered indoors. Plant in a rich soil or compost that remains moist and is well drained. Place it in a situation where it gets plenty of light, especially in winter.
