I'm pretty sure the rule is:
- early blooming - divide in fall
- late blooming - divide in spring
I'm not sure where that leaves those things that bloom in the middle of the summer! I have read that hosta can be divided fall or spring but not sure about the rest. Besides, I'm not much good for following rules so we move and divide as the mood hits us. I don't remember having any casualties but I'm sure it was a real struggle for a few of those plants.
I've had lots of casualties but I still ignore the rules. It's in my nature. Isn't that adage supposed to rhyme?
