How easy are they to lift? and is there any point? I know a couple of you
grow them (Plant is not mine)

I didn't lift our D imperialis (from Sacha & Ray) and for a few years it was
OK but after a very wet winter it didn't come up again. Same thing happened
to the one I gave a friend as insurance. *:-(
BTW they never grew big enough outside to flower despite getting to bedroom
window height, very beautiful architectural plants though, ideal for that
position you might put a banana.

So I would either lift now or take cuttings (earlier) as insurance.

I am trying to cross a dark leaf into the tree dahlias, I think it
would be a great back of border plant.
