    I am in Zone 5b/6a. I grew them for the first time last year. I grew them in 10 gal. containers to avoid rampant spread. They are complete water hogs. In the middle of our July/Aug in Midwest when it stops raining, it was 3 times/day to keep the foliage from wilting. I kept tubers to replant in larger containers, thinking 10 gal is too small. Back to the drawing board for this season. Unsure if I will grow them a third year without drip irrigation or afternoon shade.
