Oh, Kristin another thing, if you get a hold of the root it should come out pretty easy, but if the dirt seems to be a bit "hard", just wet it down a bit and pull it out. This is one of those plants that you can literally break off and shove in the ground and it'll root, but to break it off you actually have to take it and "snap" it so the root should be pretty sturdy. Hopefully that helps and I didn't ramble too much.
