dig enough of the root and put it in a 3 gallon nursery pot w/a nice medium and it should do
fine ..... dig it as soon as you see it coming up. the top might die but the root will push
more leaves.

Grow it on in the pot until late summer early fall and then plant it in its new home.

I think it's swamp milkweed, because it gets the pink flowers. blue neen Mar 2015 #4
