Choose a location that is not exposed to extreme wind but which gets plenty of sunlight. The soil should be loamy with a neutral pH level for best results. Because these flowers do not like to be disrupted, transplantation is very difficult. It is for this reason that this flower is sold as bare-root tubers.
