Planting Guide
- Plant promptly or store briefly in a cool, dry place according to the species’ dormancy needs.
- Place the growing point upward and roots or basal plate downward.
- Use well-drained soil and avoid standing water around dormant material.
- Mark the planting area and allow time for seasonal emergence.
Important: Dormant bulbs and tubers may look dry or inactive on arrival. That is not the same as active top growth. Jerusalem artichoke spreads vigorously by tubers. Plant where expansion can be managed and harvest thoroughly.
