Planting and Growing Success
Plant 'Mystery Day' tubers in spring after frost danger passes, positioning them 4-6 inches deep and 18-24 inches apart in rich, well-drained soil. Choose a full sun location, though light afternoon shade benefits plants in hotter regions. Water consistently throughout the growing season without waterlogging. Apply low-nitrogen fertilizer every 3-4 weeks and stake taller plants for support. Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous blooming. In zones 3-7, lift tubers before first frost and store in a cool, dark place for winter.
