We're going to harvest seeds (there doesn't seem to be too much around and we can't dig in the ditches around here bc there MIGHT be a gas pipe. It's an old ass town. If we find any away from residential areas I'll remember to dig deep (I'll also keep this in mind when planting )

2 - when the stalks and roots are soft. They’re easier to move. Good luck, I hope you’re successful-truly a beautiful expression of life and love.

Thank you! And me too lol. I'm going to see if we can take another drive around town to some wetland areas and see if we can find more. Then if the seeds don't work we know where we can go next spring to dig up a plant or two We're lucky the town is now a bee sanctuary. They mow less now.

I tried doing that bc I wanted to plant in another place but it didn’t work for me. When I say deep, 1-2’ tops. I’m in the northeast and it grows along the edges of swampy land. I see it at the bottom of farm hills. That soft soil is real easy to dig them from. Try that mid spring time. 1/2
