Sunday, October 31st, 2010

Here’s some tips for dividing perennials

  • Divide fall blooming plants in the Spring; spring blooming in the fall
  • Don’t divide on hot sunny days
  • Pull the whole plant from the ground then divide it.  That will help continue it’s growth habit
  • Fall: make sure there is 4-6 weeks before frost when dividing so the plants can become established
  • Spring: divide as soon as growing tips have emerged
