Step 1 – Since trailing varieties need the room to hang downwards, it is best not to place these in the same containers as the upright varieties. Plant one tuber per 8 inch container or two tubers per 12-14 inch container. Pots must have drainage holes. Plant rounded side down with concave side up. The roots will also be on the bottom side. If planting the upright varieties into the garden itself, wait until the threat of frost is over. The trailing varieties need to trail downwards and should not be planted into the garden.

Step 2 - Cover the top of bulbs with only _ to _ inches of soil. Partial sun is best.

Step 3 - Water the plants thoroughly. Keep moist but not soggy.

Step 4 - In pots, move plants outside in partial sun when evening temperatures stay above 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 5 - Planted now each tuber will produce magnificent, ostentatious flowers up to 6-8 inches across in about ten -twelve weeks and all summer long year after year!
