Thanks Donald. That would be so
much easier. I have a bed ready and yes I do have access to the
lake.

Hello Pearl,
If you have a place to plant them in
the ground, I wouldn't bother
with pots. The reason not to plant in
the ground is the chance of
frost heaving - not very likely in your
location. The bigger problem
for you and all the rest of us in this
part of Texas is the current
drought. If I recall correctly, you
have access to lake water so a
couple of good soakings should remedy that
for the rhizomes. I
planted some being held in pots in the ground
today. I'm just late
because I didn't have the spot ready, but I've
planted successfully
throughout the winter months in my location. I
can only remember
rhizomes heaving one time in the last 24 years - only
once in the
winter and not many at that.
