for the sake of the plant's health (entirely due to being behind on
things and thus an accident). Certainly they contained both rhizomes

the bed finished (late December).>
Very interesting thought Donald - and nice we both did some very late
planting so we have two data points. So much for giving plants time to
get acclimated! I dunno if I believe it tho - usually, the cultivars
that get the most damage one year continue to be the most susceptible to
freezes. However, I do think you are correct in saying the source of
the plants probably didn't have much to do with it.
Some of the increases that developed here on last year's new rhizomes
that were planted here at the recommended time of year were less damaged
than the parent rhizome. Do you see that as well? I'm assuming the new
increases won't bloom this spring.
