Planting and Growing Information
Buckeye Belle thrives in USDA hardiness zones 3-8, adapting well to various climate conditions. Plant in fall in rich, well-drained soil with eyes positioned 1-2 inches below soil level. Select locations with full sun to partial shade for optimal flowering. While establishing, provide consistent moisture without waterlogging. Plants typically bloom in late spring to early summer, with the most spectacular displays appearing after 2-3 years in the ground.
