Plant the tuber claw pointed end down and 1 to 2 inches deep, less in clay soil. Space jumbos 8 to 12 inches apart (at least one tuber per square foot), number three tubers about 4 inches apart (two or three per square foot).
Those living in areas with cool summers can plant bulbs outdoors in the spring for late summer blooms.
