Tips for dividing and transplanting perennials. Herbaceous perennial plants tend to multiple and spread. Dividing them periodically helps keep them from being overgrown. It also encourages the plant to send up new, tender growth. Spring and fall are great times to do this. Use a shovel to slice through the plant. Make sure you have roots (or bulbs) in each section. Transplant immediately. #perennials #perennialplants #dividingperennials #gardening #gardeningtips #howtogarden #perennialgarden #ga
