Trying to be polite. Maybe your not seeing the question being asked. So I've decide to torture you with my really bad drawing as I convert the question at hand into visual form.

Something else has occurred to me this evening. In the spring it takes 6 to 8 weeks for the eyes to appear. Even if I planted Snake Eyes with all rhizomes directly under the cut tuft (left diagram) would that mean that there is still a chance that the eyes would emerge ... 6 to 8 weeks after planting ... say early to mid-September? Might that also sound right??
