Guide to Dividing and Transplanting Perennials

Prepare the new planting site by loosening the soil and adding compost. Water the plants a day before transplanting to reduce stress.

Replant the divisions at the same depth they were growing before. Water thoroughly after planting to help them establish in their new location.

Dig around the perennial clump, lifting it carefully. Divide the clump into sections, ensuring each division has roots and shoots.

Transplant in early spring or fall for best results. Trim back foliage to reduce stress on the plant and encourage new growth.

Monitor the transplanted perennials regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Enjoy a thriving garden with healthy, rejuvenated perennials. Share your divided plants with friends and family to spread beauty in your community.
