I would try them. But while Wal Mart managers once had the authority to make
deals they now tell me they no longer can. ( I may have worn them out! <g>)
You can wait and watch until they reduce further. Lowes and Home Depot garden
center managers still have authority to make special deals on deterioated
stock.
Other than identy questions, I've been amazed at the survival rate of dry
crinkled rhizomes that sometimes go snap, crackle and pop. Absolutely amazed!
