Prepare the plant by watering it thoroughly a day before dividing. Use a sharp shovel to dig around the plant, then lift it gently from the ground.
Gently shake off excess soil and separate the plant into sections, ensuring each division has roots and shoots. Trim any damaged roots or foliage.
Replant the divisions in a prepared area with well-draining soil and adequate sunlight. Water the newly transplanted perennials thoroughly to help them establish.
Consider dividing and transplanting perennials in early spring or fall when the weather is cooler to reduce stress on the plants. Monitor their progress closely.
Regularly water the transplants during the first few weeks to promote root growth. Apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture and protect the plants.
Dividing and transplanting perennial flowers can rejuvenate overcrowded plants and help them thrive. Enjoy a garden filled with healthy, vibrant blooms all season long.
