    Have a look at this link for cultivation tips - although it's talking about a particular cultivar, it applies to others too:


    They're best divided when not in growth, so early spring or autumn. You will need to ease them out with a fork and then divide the clump. Re-plant immediately, and water in well afterwards.
    You will need to wait until they are a reasonable size to do this, say 3-4 years old.
