The main considerations are length of season and summer heat. You need to get them to mid-November without frost and they will suffer in prolonged periods of temperatures above 80F/27C. Many are seriously infected with viruses, so if you can't find a good commercial source, try to verify that the person supplying them to you is able to get reasonable yields. Low yields of small tubers may be an indication that the tubers are infected.
