Propagating by division

From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn

Once the plants have established, they should start multiplying. Once reasonable sized clumps start forming, they can be divided, when the foliage dies back. Using a fork dig up plant, try to keep the root ball as complete as possible. Remove any offsets to re-plant. Split the root ball at the center with a sharp knife or a spade.In mild Winter areas, replant the plants to the same depth as the original and keep well watered until established. In cooler climes, plant in pots for over-wintering in a cool, dry, frost-free place.
