How to divide a daylily - this is my preferred method. I do not cut down through a clump with a shovel, as you slice through to many roots and crowns. If you then plant a sliced division those sliced roots and plants die. By using the method in this video, you will get very little root damage, or crown damage. If all the soil does not come off with a hose, simply soak the clump in a tub of water for a few hours or overnight, then hose off again. One thing I do differently is before cutting into a division with a knife, I will use a large, flat blade screw driver and wiggle it in there, further loosening the fans so that you can then wiggle the fans apart. I'll typically replant a few double fans in a large hole - placing them like spokes of a wheel. This makes it easy in the future to dig down and remove a double fan or so to give or sell without disturbing the remaining divisions.
