2020 note: Saved 2 roots in 2019. The largest one is about 4 feet tall and 5 feet wide. I used to have several colors, now I only have salmon subset. Perhaps next year i will start some new plants (new colors). I enjoy having them in the garden. I save the roots at the same time I dig up my dahlia tubers for over winter starage. I wrap my dalia tubers with saran wrap. I do the same for the mirabilis roots. Easy. Saved 3 roots in 2020.
