Sow in pots, under cover, in stacks of 2 to 3 seeds. Transplant with the whole clod once the last frosts have passed. To sow directly in the ground, wait for the soil to warm up and sow in stacks of 2 to 3 seeds, 40 cm apart in all directions.
This cold-weather perennial can be kept from one year to the next, provided it is not subjected to heavy frosts. In regions with cold climates, dig up the tubers and overwinter them in a frost-free, sheltered place, then divide them and put them back in the ground in spring.
