Well, this is how I bought it from HD. I was told the roots doing that was "normal".
Is this something this particular plant does or does it actually mean it's root bound.
Also, since this is a collection spot for winter rains and drains poorly, I was thinking about maybe transplanting into a half-barrell (wine barrel pots) or maybe a similar size with well draining soil and maybe bury it...?
What do you guys think?
