Default Re: Other plants

I bought mine at a gardening store locally, and I've been taking many divisions off every spring since then because it tends to multiply a lot during that time. If you buy it, make sure you buy the actual plant and not the seeds since I get seeds off mine that never germinate.

I don't mind sending a division if you remind me about it in the spring for a plant trade. I'm also interested in collecting unique plants. As far as each winter, all I do it cut the leaves off, put them over the plant, then drop a leaf bag on top of that, and the corm is pretty safe. I would however recommend planting this some place in the open because mine is getting too large to be up against the house, and starting to shade out the blueberry plants even though I divide so much off of it each year.
