Looks like all the care I gave my plants might have resulted in too much water retention/improper drainage. Anyone know how I might go about trying to save some of the rhizomes? Just snip and replant?
backstory: took a plant from a friend this spring, split into three pots in the house, they LOVED it, almost 4' tall by the time I put outside in the ground. Prepped ground with manure, compost, triple mix and cedar mulch on top but within two days, growth had stopped and everything went limp and yellow.
I fear too much water was held in soil and someone told me I put them out too late, since they were already so tall and the environment shock did them in. Someone else told me it was still too early here (Canada, up to low 20's C during day, 5-8 C at night) but others (prior year, of course) are already up several feet and nice big leaves.
Any tips for trying to rescue something here or should I be clipping some shoots from friends' beds and starting fresh?
Thanks...
