How to Divide Plants
Many perennial plants grow in a pattern that becomes a
constantly widening clump.
Eventually you will need to
decide when is the right time to divide this plant creating
many new plants along the way.
The plant itself offers a
good gauge as to when the time has come to divide.
When the
clump starts to die off in the center, leaving an outer
ring of growth, it is time to divide.
Division of plants keeps them alive and healthy and
blooming more.
The best time to divide plants depends on
what type of plant it is and how fast it grows.
While an
open centered clump is a good indicator that it is time to
divide, you don t have to wait until your plant starts to
resemble a doughnut.
Look for clumping plants that have
doubled or tripled in size in three to five years.
Any
clump that is outgrowing its space in the garden or has
already become overgrown is also an excellent choice to be
divided.
Spring is typically the best season for plant division.
