Sow in pots at a temperature of between 16 and 20°C, under a well-lit shelter, 5 weeks before planting. After the last frosts, transplant the whole clump into the ground at a minimum distance of 50 cm, burying the stem up to the first leaves. Water abundantly at the time of planting.
Solanaceae need light and heat to produce. In cool climates, it's best to grow them under cover and, depending on the soil, water them regularly.

Grown in Tennessee, North America, in 1890, this ancient variety is thought to have been passed down from the Cherokee tribe, and was introduced to North Carolina in 1991 by Seed Saver Exchange member Craig LeHoullier, who obtained seed from J. D. Green of Tennessee.
