An old topic revived! My virella was in a raised planter box, with one escaped rhizome that I didn't panic about. All of the plant in the planter box died last winter (very dry with a couple of extended cold snaps), but the in-ground culm from the rhizome escape lost most leaves but leafed back out. I'm not sure if I'll be able to dig anything out successfully as it's all mixed in with other plants, but we'll see. (We hit -4ºF one night, 1ºF the following night, then a couple weeks later was back down around 1ºF for at least one night)
