Planting and Care
Plant 'Joker' in fall for best results, positioning the root eyes (buds) just 2 inches below soil level in well-drained, fertile loam. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade that receives 6-8 hours of daily sunlight. Space plants 2-3 feet apart to accommodate mature growth. Water consistently during establishment and the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Cut foliage to the ground after frost in fall. Expect blooms in early to mid-season, typically late spring.
