Mine also has a lot of root primordia. I was wondering whether it was the wet weather we had until recently, but it seems like it's a trait of the variety.

Mine are blooming their little heads off now and have some fruit on them. They're quick to wilt in the heat, but otherwise, they've been heartier than they look. Their wispy, wavy, weeping appearance is growing on me.
