Loves a moist but well drained, fertile soil in full sun to light shade.
Not hardy in frost prone regions and will need lifting and storing after the first frosts have blackened the foliage. Cut off the foliage and store upside down to allow the tubers to drain.

Some people find a dusting of sulphur powder or other fungicidal treatment beneficial during storage.
