Where do I cut?

The tubers that have eyed up and are growing are only connected around the neck? I can't cut through the neck because it is too thin. There is no tuber to support the growth and make roots. Would I just dig out the eye from the neck area and plant that? This is why I buy.

I am not sure what your goal is?

If you are looking to divide them search this forum and there are a couple of great threads with pictures.

And all tubers are only joined but the neck when connected...You need a tuber and an eye to produce flowers.....

hmmmm.. could you claify your goal??

Happy Gardening

I'd just plant what is growing for you as is and don't worry about dividing at this point. They'll most likely go on to make more easily divided tubers this season.
