- Cultivation
- Plant the small, unusual tubers known as claws 5cm (2in) deep and 10cm (4in) apart, 'eyes' up and claws facing down. Grow in a sheltered position and protect from strong and cold winds.
Care Tips
Soak the claws for 12 hours prior to planting. Plant into pots to grow-on in a glasshouse until the danger of frost has passed. In warmer areas they can be planted directly in the ground, but we would advise using a cloche for overnight protection.
Flowering Time
May - July
