It is best for northern gardeners to treat this like peppers by starting them inside and transplanting them in the garden. I keep the later season types in flower pots in front of buildings for decoration. They make a showy plant both in flowers and foliage. Then when the bolls pop open they are quite colorful. Tough year with my foot problem I didn't get them planted soon enough
