do any of you grow this plant? we were dividing one of our yellow and green variegated clumps this past week(14"H )and some of the roots are pretty hair-less and the divisions (sometimes just 1 piece) which we stored in damp shredded leaves mixed w/ soil-- wilted pretty badly. Is your experience that this plant is tough or fragile?

VtSkiers in Ct. has reported its growing under sidewalks(maybe it is bamboo related?!)Have you had it recover from bad wilting after division? We did cut it back by 1/3-1/2 to try to rejuvenate it. I'm guessing it will rebound but thought i'd ask youall. What a great plant- beautiful variegated or green or yellow leaves on handsome neat sturdy shade loving clump; REALLY cool unusual flowers in fall. couldn't find any good web photos to show how neat the flowers are.

thanks,
