Cosey Fascinating! My FC tubers look like turkey drumsticks. Well, maybe not that big. Jessie G also was prolific and the tubers are nice and firm with thick skins. However, she is either slow to wake up or I missed the eyes entirely. They all have short necks without a very obvious crown area.
I’m most grateful for the many visual guides available from generous growers like yourself. I completely blew it last year. Well I had one success (speaking of unkillable tubers,) Maarn grew in two locations for me in 2022 even though I only planted one. I suspect I accidentally knocked a tuber off when digging it up. The stray plant was in the same spot as the first one, and must have survived in the ground all winter. She was such a good plant that I bought another one and ended up with two, which bloomed like crazy from July until frost and then left behind well over a dozen stout tubers. And like magic, I’m hooked! It’s very gratifying to see one survive, so I’m hoping my efforts are rewarded this coming season.
