Default Re: What am I doing wrong?

Mine are just now starting to finally pick up growth a bit, I might............get 4 or 5 feet by fall If I fertilize every 3 days, but I dunnoooo. I am mulching the heck out of them this year, and not trying to protect the pstem at all, just going to cut them down to about a foot above the soil line. Not taking any chances of them freezing and only leaving small pups again. Photos I have seen of them cut down to soil level have way outgrown mine, the freeze traveled down the pstem I tried to protect, and killed the main rhizome. A new one I planted this spring is about 5 feet now from a very small plant.
