Such dedication, Mark. "All the Best" for next year's shows!

Thanks, i'm looking forward to the shows.
If i can get enough plants up to standard, i might see if i can enter with a stand (if it's in next years schedule).

Do you class these as perennials Mark?

To be honest, i don't know.
Perennial means lasting a long time or forever, constantly recurring, living for several years.
They wouldn't last outside throughout the winter, the frost would have them. But providing they are taken into a frost free place, compost dried and brushed off, and started in a fresh 50/50 mix (or similar) in a warm place, putting out in a the shade when all risk of frost has past they will grow for a few years - probably several years, but as the tubers get larger they aren't so good for show plants (although i believe some growers use larger tubers for multi stemed plants, which i am not very keen on). Also larger tubers need larger pots, i wouldn't have room for them if they got too big, and they would take a lot more handling to get them to the shows.

Thanks Mark all the info I read on them also lists them as annuals.
