Plant crowns at soil level, ensuring the roots are well spread out and not overcrowded.
Space plants 12–18 inches apart, with 3–4 feet between rows for good air circulation and easy access.
Water consistently to keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells and early growth.
Remove flowers the first year to allow plants to focus on developing strong roots and vegetative growth.
