Planting and Growing Information

Plant 'Festiva Maxima' bare roots in fall, positioning the eyes (buds) just 1-2 inches below soil level in well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants 2-4 feet apart to ensure proper air circulation. This hardy perennial thrives in USDA zones 3-8, making it suitable for most continental climate regions. Expect magnificent blooms in late spring to early summer, with each plant flowering for 7-10 days. For heavier blooms, support structures may be beneficial to prevent stems from bending.
