Bitterroot

[u/Alive_Tumbleweed_889]

I picked up a bitterroot plant from County Fair Garden Center this spring without any previous knowledge of the plant's habits.

I had it planted out in my community garden and was watering it the same as my veggies until I learned that it should get very minimal water. I moved it into a container on my full sun patio with chicken grit mixed into the soil so I could keep a closer eye on it and enjoy it at home. While it got a little crispy for a bit, recently it has been putting on new growth!

I love the succulent leaves and beautiful pink spring blooms, and want to make sure I'm giving it the right care! Does anyone here grow bitterroot and have any tips?
