You need to start a topic with your question in the title. Any off subject discussion is impossible to find later as nothing points to what was actually discussed.

One things for sure though if it can survive our winters its going to need plenty of space! it can send pups out on long rhizomes several feet away from the main plant

Tony

i am looking for more information on this odd growth habit as it could really effect any chance of me growing it.

are these underground runners?
how large do they get (the runners)?
is it ok to just remove any unwanted pups leaving the main plant where you planted it?

anything else to consider?
