Propagate by seed, cuttings, division or separation - Sow seeds indoors in very early spring. Take basal cuttings or offshoot stem cuttings during the growing season, or divide the tubers before spring planting.

Plant the tubers "eyes up" indoors in early spring in flats of peat moss and sand. Place the trays in a dark location at 65 F until 1" tall shoots appear. Cover the shoots with additional mix and move the trays to a lighted location at the same temperature. Transfer the plants to pots when they are begun to grow well. Plant them outdoors after all frost danger has passed.

Water without wetting leaves to prevent foliar disease.

In early fall, before frost danger, gently remove the tubers from their beds, cut off the foliage, and place the plants, their roots still covered with soil, in a cool, well-ventilated location until spring.
