When planting, ensure the rhizomes are set at a depth of 2 inches.
This plant is categorized as Tender III, meaning it can be damaged when temperatures drop below 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
While storage is generally not recommended, if necessary, keep the rhizomes in moist peat at a temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius).
