Comments:
Does not like frost and must be kept moist. Is grown as an annual where there are heavy frost and temperatures reach freezing, however the roots will overwinter in the lower part of zone 5 and higher. Grown primarily as an ornamental vegetable and may cause stomach upset if eaten. Is a self-seeder and can be invasive if seed allowed to develop with no control.
