Growing tips

Germination in 14-21 days at 18-21°C. Plant out after the last frost. However, the rhizomes tolerate frost and can therefore be overwintered. A light harvest can be achieved in August of the first year of planting (ripening time 45-52 weeks), in subsequent years the main harvest is in May-June. Regular weeding is important.
