Perrenials
Success with perennial flowers is no accident. Perennials need some specialized care in the Fall to remain vigorous and full flowering next spring. Top on the Ato-do@ list is the dividing and replanting of clumping perennials.
Division is one of the easiest ways to start new plants. It=s also a requirement for many perennials every few years. As they grow clumping perennials form new plants or offshoots that are constantly growing farther out. Over time, the center of the clump begins to die out from competition with the younger, more vigorous, surrounding plants. Dividing is a way to space out vigorous plants in the clump to assure their success.
