Clip spent flowers to promote continued bloom. May be treated as a perennial in mild climates. Cold zone overwintering: when flowering ceases, stop watering and let plant dry. Dig up after first frost, remove old foliage, place in a paper sack and store in a cool spot (45° F). Replant tubers in spring, after danger of frost has passed.
