everyone i know has gotten it from a friend or neighbor; ask around.
when you find some, just stick a spade in to divide out a clump and
plant it. (with or without leaf, in spring, summer, or early fall)
water it a lot after you plant it for about 2 weeks and then just
leave it alone.
make sure that the stalks of the parent plant are red; and that you're
not planting burdock (wild rhubarb) which can look similar.
