Posted by pirl (Southold, Long Island, NY - Zone 7a) on May 7, 2015 12:55 PM Very tough to divide. We used a variety of knives, a saw, a shovel and a dead blow hammer to drive the shovel deeper, and ended up having to use an axe. My advice would be to plant it where it can stay without division or divide early and often to avoid the tedious work involved. [ Reply to this comment | |
