I kept the original roots and should give them a try but I have read several times that only the crown can produce new eyes. The exception is some of the fern leafs can produce new roots and eyes from planted slices of broken roots. Doesn't cost anything to try and it just may work.
From all the new orders for this fall, next year and the year after should be almost magical with all the different colors and types. Hope everyone takes lots of pictures.
