Question
Out walking my property i found some Common Ground Nut. I was wondering if i could dig it up, and plant it in my wild flower garden, and what time of year this should be done, if it can be. Thanks, Tiffanie.
Answer
Tiffanie, I am guessing that you could carefully remove it (by unearthing the tubers) and transplant it. Apios Americana (groundnut) often grows in riparian forests where new silt is deposited each year. Sometimes, these species adapted to certain soils will grow for a time in another location but may not remain for many years. I have not transplanted it before, so I am sorry to say that I cannot speak from experience with this species. Best wishes.
