I have been digging up lots of Ophiopogon (black grassy-leaved lily)

I am pretty sure that it can't regrow from them - God alone knows what

you - they are very shallow with me, and my soil is lightish.

Thanks, Nick, that's encouraging. These really are deep roots - I
nearly pulled up a kangaroo on one of them! I've had to dig so deep.

It seems odd that the roots are shallow on your soil, you would think
they'd need to put down a deeper anchor, not shallower, on light soil.

Anyhow, thanks for your input.
