Ajuga - Just dig them up with no concerns. You will see that this plant
is
ground cover and sends out runners and at times the runners will set
root.
At root location is your new plant. I will dig up a 2ft/sq
section...wash off
the soil and divide all the plants up.
Penstemon- ?
Shasta Daisies - I'm mean...take a shovel and stab it in the middle and
break apart
the plant. You can break it up into many sections if you like. An just
plant it.
Water the plants after you replant them. JUST DO IT!
