Planting and Growing Information
'Sweet Sixteen' performs best in full sun to partial shade locations with well-drained, fertile soil. Plant bare roots in fall with eyes positioned 1-2 inches below soil surface, spacing plants 3-4 feet apart. This mid-season bloomer flowers from late spring to early summer, typically in May-June depending on the climate zone. Hardy in zones 3-8, it requires minimal care once established—simply cut back foliage to ground level after first frost and apply balanced fertilizer in early spring.
