Solved Root id

Recently moved and making new borders from what has been lawn/grass moss a buttercup
Have now come across this root has small shoots appearing it’s black to look at a quite wriggley
When broken or damaged has a red colour it’s about 6 -8 inches long
Any advice would be welcome been digging out all I can find

 

Hmm!
Might be something wonderful...or not!
I have never dig up my plants to see what the roots look like.
Suggest you wait for leaves/flowers then add more pics to this thread.
Then we can have a go at helping you.

 

I am thinking not wonderful there’s quite a lot and it hasn’t been dug for years could pot some up to see what happens
Was hoping with red colour internal it may give a clue

 

Put it into a pot far away from the other plants and let's see

 

Potted up and placed undercover to try and force into growth

 

Maybe a Peony allow the roots don't exactly represent a peony tuber . Soon find out when the leave opens

 

Looks to small for peaony thickest about 8mm and lots of them, all individual not a rhizome so I presume self seed hope it doesn’t self propagate from root remains

 

I have found some in leaf hope it’s a good enough picture

 

I've seen that before, I think it's a weed.

 

Are you thinking of Creeping Qinquefoil? The roots can get quite thick and go deep, but aren't the leaf stems thinner?

 

I don't know what I'm thinking about, I don't bother naming weeds, I tend to just get rid of them.
I dont have a clue what it it just resembles something that I have gotten rid of in the past.

 

I think you are right it is a cinquefoil
