Received Bleeding Heart Root Cutting I Think Its Dead. Northeadt Ohio Should I Plant Outside?

Question

What should a root curring look like? it looks dried out with only 3-4 roots and no green. I soaked potting soil and planted it in a small pot to put in garage over winter. Do you this this is how to handle it or should I take inside? The compant was Direct Gardening.

Answer 1

Since it was dormant, it may not have looked too spiffy. Roots are not usually green. Is it a tuber? What you did sounds fine. If they do not sprout in spring, I would contact the company and request a replacement.
