Hosta is just one example, but you can multiply divide most perennials. A list of other perennials easy to propagate by division and how to divide them is included in my new book. Link to my book is in the first comment below. WHY DIVIDE PERENNIALS? 🧚🏻 Dividing perennials helps them stay healthy and vigorous. 🧚🏻 It is also a great way of multiplying your plants and saving money. WHEN TO DIVIDE?🧚🏻 Divide summer-flowering plants in spring (Mar-May) or Autumn (Sep-Nov) when the soil is dryWHA

You can divide perennials that don’t have a woody stem. Hostas are a great way to start! Dig the soil in around the edges of the plant to loosen the roots from the soil, then you can use your hands often on a hosta to grab a 4 to 6 inch chunk of the roots. Now you have a free plant! You can, of course take larger chunks if you want to, and you can also take a shovel and drive it down a section of the plant to divide the roots from the edge. I can’t always respond to comments so for those of you
