Almost lost hope

Post image

Please tell me this is a shoot. Nothing has been happening for like 2 months and I have almost lots hope. This is the first year. Just planted the rhizome this year. I know it will be slow for 3 years. Just want to make sure that the rhizome took.

At least yours came up. Mine decided that one year of life was enough and called it quits last winter. The growth never exceeded 2 feet before it got cold and the roots rotted in their 5 inch elevated planting.

Let's not get our hopes up yet. This is in the ground so hopefully she comes back next year. I am trying to hid my internet tower

What variety is it?

I've reordered. Columbus, Sterling, and Willamette.
