| I divided my tubers last night. On certain clumps the original tuber had the strongest neck. Assuming the original tuber has eyes will it produce a healthy flowering plant next year or is it better to use the new tubers? |

| All tubers are created equal...;-] If it sprouts, it will produce just as good a plant as any other. Cheers, |

| That's called the mother tuber. It'll grow just like the new ones but it's better to keep it stored apart from the others because it's more likely to rot & if it's not in with the others it won't make them rot. |

| Oh Great, I have them all put away and the Mother tuber is with them! |
