Hello, I have licorice which I am not sure whether to consider a root or stem plant? Steven Foster says it is an underground stem, Richter's little plastic thing that came with the plant says the underground stolons are used for flavoring etc (oops, is that what a stolon is? An underground stem?). I guess I thought it was roots being used? Should I have gotten the Chinese variety for medicinal use?
Anyone know? I was thinking of using that little window this morning (8-11 am EST) to plant it even though we're just after the eclipse. One of them is begging to go into the ground, the other two are growing fast, and I would rather not wait a week. Anyone with experience? Thanks, Jane
