Last year, I bought 5 cascade rhizomes. I gave 2 to my brother. I planted mine in half wine barrels. He planted his in the ground, then transplanted them at his new place a few weeks ago. He already has 8"-10" plants, and mine haven't even sprouted yet. Today, I scratched around in the dirt to see if there was a sprout under there. What I found was that my rhizomes appeared to be rotten. There were no roots and they seemed to be soggy and broke apart. I think maybe I loved them too much...I've been watering them every few days. The top 1/2" of the soil was dry, but it was quite moist below that. Right now, I have the rhizomes sitting on top of the soil to dry out a little.
My question is, do you think I killed them, or will they be OK. The lady I bought them from is starting to sell them again, so if these are dead, I will go buy more right away.
