Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Thanks Angela. It's so hard to find this herb here even. I know you can buy the seeds online and it's very easy to grow. That might be easier....DonnaAngela <angelaamy2001 wrote: purplepassion <thelilacflower wrote: I wonder if I stuck a hunk with a root in a baggy with a wet paper towl and mailed it priority mail if that would work.

Donna, I've done that.. wrap the root in the wet paper towel, then in foil, and then put a ziploc-type around the root part and zip up so only the stem is sticking out.... pack your junk mail papers around it so it doesn't bang around in the box... *hugs* Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Amy thanks, this is a hard to kill off herb. I will see if I can find a seed packet so she can grow some on the windowsill first.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 That should work. I dug up some hosta rhizomes to mail to someone. I added lots of soil to a plastic bag and since the soil was dry I added a couple of sprinkles of water. Then I put the rhizomes in, sealed the bag with just a little air hole and mailed priority. The person who received them said they came in great condition.
