The tubers can be started indoors from March onwards. This gives the plants a head start and earlier flowering. After the last frost (around mid-May), the plants can be moved outside.

It is recommended to leave at least two to four pairs of leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing clean, sharp scissors, cut just above a leaf node.
