Anodyne Posted May 30, 2014 Arrived today, thankyou. Do you think there would be any problems with planting them now (no frost where I am) - I just figure that if they have to be stored somewhere dark and damp anyway... or is that a bad idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franky Posted May 30, 2014 I think it will be fine, I had some last year that popped up from some rhizomes that I missed when I was digging. They sat in the ground through winter in melb 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
