A climbing tuberous perennial that uses tendrils at the ends of its leaves to climb surrounding plants or structures. Gloriosa tubers are hardy to zone 8 if unprotected. In colder zones, use as patio plant or lift and store for winter. Good drainage in the winter is the key to perennial growth. Tubers should be planted horizontally 2-3” below the soil surface. Plants bloom mid summer through fall and mature tubers can climb as high as 6’. Plant in sun or partial shade. Plants require a structure to climb on. Store tubers in dry, dark place until planting
