They flower the same year as sowing & will produce a tuber to keep for future years.Spade and Daggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447641240079673493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6462892922175873030.post-90704309094705660782017-08-07T17:54:45.016+01:002017-08-07T17:54:45.016+01:00Thanks Sue.
