Rick,

I have experienced the same problems with M. lasiocarpa. I have even gone so far as to dig the whole plant up in order to better see the point of attachment. It's basically a crap shoot. M. lasiocarpa pups so tightly to the mother plant that I inevitably end up destroying a few. On the other hand it does help keep the plant from getting out of hand. I have a M. ornata that is constantly sending out pups 2'-3' away from the mother plant. It is a constant struggle to keep it in bounds. Always plenty of pups to share that way, though!
