You know, if you divide your plant and replant in a group of three clumps slightly separated from each other, it will look like one big mound much faster. I've done that with several of mine, most notably in 2011 when I had a large hosta sale to benefit my church renovation. Once you've got them out of the ground to take a division or two, just continue to divide them up. Most of them did wonderfully, but I had a couple that didn't grow as well after I did that. By three years later you'd have to look really closely to see that it's not all one large mound.
