Lovely pic, Linda. I’ve taken mine up as it was being eaten..a patient hinted I should put it in a pot filled with water..it’s now sprouting very well..fingers crossed.

Good luck with it Kate. This is next to a large Hosta and the snails have taken to that.

What a lovely colour. When is the best time to plant one?

I planted mine after I had them as pot plants Waddy, but I would think after the frosts. I don't know about from a tuber. Perhaps the internet will have some information for you. I make sure they are watered in the dry weather.

Thanks Linda. I have one in a pot which has finished flowering and I was wondering if I could plant it out now. :-)

Hope it does well for you Waddy. I would put a bit of compost into the hole and water then put your plant in and give it another water as it's so dry.

Thanks for the tip Linda, I'll wait until it's cooled down a bit then I'll find a spot for it.
