tigerpaws, thank you for asking that question. They are planted in the ground and all I do after the second frost is cut them to the ground. In zone 8b they come back each year. I have 8 clumps of them on our property and when I cut them back I lay
the trunks along the fence line to keep the squirrels from digging up under the fence.
The clump by the garden plots were the larges this year. I had two that I couldn't put my arms around the trunk. Folks love to stop and go on a min vacation! Thank you for admiring out photos.
