Laurie,
Thanks for sharing your experience with shrinking rhizomes. I was wondering about that. Mine are smaller and sometimes I feel bad about the size of them when trading/sharing. But they still blossom. This year I'm using some triple phosphate, about a tablespoon scattered around each plant/clump, to see if that will pump up the rhizomes a bit. Luckily, we have dependable snowfall for winter protection. With my thin soil, drainage is not a problem.
synergy--the rhizomes are supposed to be exposed, not the roots, but the bellies. Imagine chubby ladies sunbathing........
