The 'pip' is the 'just underground' rhizome and can be lifted and replanted
at any time from October to March. They grow well in partial shade,
especially if the ground is compost rich and moist.
Best Wishes. Brian [they don't grow well for me!]

What part of the plant is a 'pip' and when is the best time to harvest
for selling or giving away? I have a bezillion LoVs that spread and
spread.
