Background: 10 clean, dry, single-fan TB rhizomes. Planted in early Oct.
New bed, slight slope, well-drained, 18-24" deep x 70 sq. ft. (90% loam,
10% clay) added about 20%/vol peat and bone meal at planting. Careful to
just set the top of the rhizome at soil level.
I have been observing these and note that some have retained color and
leaf integrity while some others seem to have died back completely.
Is the dieback a sign that the transplants didn't "take"?
