A beautiful selection. Do you over winter the tubers?

Morning Waddy ,

Yes I do overwinter the tubers , once they are finished flowering I will pop in the greenhouse let them dry off and let the foliage fall away from the tubers , then remove from pots etc and compost and then I let them ripen for about 4 weeks on the shelf in the greenhouse which normally takes me in to October , then a squirt of yellow sulphur powder over them and then stored in trays sitting on dry compost in a frost free and cool garage.

Or if you dont want all that faff , buy some more in the spring lol
