Video -Dividing Plants with Taproots

Dividing Plants with Taproots
with Janet Macunovich

Length: 2:22
Plants that have taproots can be divided by using a sharp knife to slice down the length of the root. Every piece that has at least one eye, some of the taproot, and a few side roots is a viable division.

Plants that have taproots include balloon flowers (Platycodon grandiflorus and cvs., Z 4–9), butterfly weeds (Asclepias tuberosa and cvs., Z 4–9), cushion spurges (Euphorbia polychroma and cvs., Z 4–9), Oriental poppies (Papaver orientale and cvs., Z 4–9)

In this video, author and instructor Janet Macunovich demonstrates how to divide perennials that have taproots.

Your Yard - For You, Your Family and Your Friends

Last year residential architecture firms reported that upscale landscaping is on the increase, as is the popularity of outdoor living space such as decks, porches, patios and small courtyards. "When you extend your living space outside, suddenly you have so much more space for living in general," says Michelle Kodis, author of "Ultimate Backyard." And comfort isn't the only benefit, Kodis writes. "If you want to raise the value of your home, start thinking about ways to add structural interest and comfort to your backyard, patio, deck, side yard ".

A professionally done design adds the most value; or you may choose to seek the advice of an expert. The reasons for developing your yard are numerous. Why go anywhere else?
