| I got this bulb today from a guy on ebay. It came in dirt and had real long white roots. Isnt this tuber supposed to be dry by this time of year? What should I do with it? Should I put it back into the dirt or set it on a shelf where it will dry?
Thanks |

| Hello, I have been growing them here in Tn. (zone 6) for about 7 years and they are hardy here. They go dormant during the summer but when the weather starts to cool they will start growing new roots and a growth tip. I keep mine in the ground or in pots in the garage this time of year. The only time I dig them is when they are dormant. I would say no, they are not suppose to be dry this time of year. I would plant it if I were you. Jim |
