Try digging up the roots and saving them dormant--as you would Dahlia roots...Just air dry them first and then throw them in a cardboard box for the winter. You might want to cover them with some dry peat moss or something...

Early in the spring--pot up the roots in som kind of a container just to see what sections will sprout. Then plan them in your beds. I did that this year--and one of the roots grew a 4-bush about 3'tall and 4'wide. MASSIVE!

Look! That is ONE plant!
