Plant crowns in late winter to early spring. Crowns are best left for the first year without being harvested, or with minimal harvesting. After the second year crowns can be harvested for a period of 10 - 12 weeks, then leave to 'fern out', this allows the crowns to restore energy for the next season. Harvesting should stop at the end of December or early January.
