The following Summer--I took it back outside and it only presented me with a few, puny blooms.... By end of Summer--i was sure I wanted to divide it....What did i have to loose? Long story short---it took me over 1/2 hour to get it out of the pot....ended up beating the pot with my 4lb sledge--hard! it was amazing that the pot never even cracked.... After a long while of this, the root ball finally loosened from the pot and i was able to pull it out. It was SOOOO hopelessly entangled in it's roots, that after trying to unwind some of them, I gave up and got a strong kitchen knife and started "butchering" the root mass. No mercy!!! After rinsing all the soil off with water--this is what I had to start with. |
