Chris, 

a five foot wide space of 'OrangekÃnigin' - oh my!!!!  I only just put that 
one in last year and I am orange w envy of your patch! My little one is 
blooming now though; I just love the color.

I get all my Epis from the Probsts' Garden Vision and they always ship in 
June indicating that after flowering is one of the best time to divide, so 
you're on the right track there.  I've only done it a couple of times, more 
or less as you described, resetting pieces at the same depth as before.

Here's a great article on them created by a Horticulture interview of Darrell 
Probst. At the bottom of the article is a step-by-step how-to of epimedium 
division.

I noticed this year that some of my Epimedium clumps have gotten pretty 
sizable.  The Epimedium x warleyense 'OrangekÃnigin' clump is particularly 
large, filling a five foot wide space and starting to encroach on the 
double-flowering Solomon's seal.

I've never divided out an Epimedium clump before.  What's the best way?  
Anything special, or can I just trim the edges with a spade and transplant?

Thanks!

Chris
