Growing at a glance…
Water well, especially throughout the summer. Try not to let their soil dry out. Grow in any moderately fertile and well drained soil. Plant with rotted manure in a sunny part of the garden, or in partial shade. To plant loose roots, soak them in a bucket of water for 1-3 hours before planting, then dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the root system. Firm in gently and water well.
