My Siberians are still brown & dead looking here in Iowa. I have them growing in dry parts of the garden and soggy places. When I want some to trade, I do like laurie & just shove my shovel in the center to chop off a hunk. I leave most of the clump intact.

Siberians grow easily here. I have several colors. My ground was an old clay cornfield 15 years ago. I have added grass, leaves & wood mulches over the years, but most of the soil is still pretty tough to work.
