Tuberous roots/rhizomes????

They were growing horizontally and shallow - no more than 1" under the soil.

I still haven't dug up one of the mature plants to over-winter and plan to do that this weekend. Can't wait to see how large that one will be.

I have four vines growing and Ron has suggested that I leave the other three in the ground. One I will not mulch at all, and the other two I will mulch heavily to see if either or all will survive my mild winter.

Wouldn't that be fabulous if they do and we can see some blooms next year!

Perry,
Did your vines survive that I sent you?
Just wondering how well they transplant when young without the roots as we now know they form?
