I'd vote for pot culture. Most people I know (including me) have very poo=r 
luck with these in the garden. They just tend to disappear over the winte=r, =
and 
conventional wisdom says that the tubers rot in the cold wet ground. I mu=st 
have grown at least a hundred from seed over the years (they are easy fro=m s=
eed) 
and at this point have none to show for it.
