Do you think I could grow these in the Wairarapa? We have frosts to about -5 in winter.

I’ve seen them growing in a few Wairarapa gardens - not sure if people water them but I’ve also seen them growing along side the Ruamahanga under one of the bridges so I guess it should be fine!

Hello I've just been given a huge bag of Jerusalem artichokes. No problems in using them but I want to keep some tubers to plant out at then of winter /spring. Can anyone tell me how to store them until then.

Plant a few them out now. As sunflowers, they are prettier in a north facing spot. They'll be fine as long as they get a bit of water. Be warned they can be quite invasive over a couple of year period if you're not careful.

This is my first attempt at growing Jerusalem artichokes. I'm in a temperate zone and planted them in November. Only one plant has produced one flower! Will this be a problem?
