I did this a little over a year ago. My recommendation would be to put
your wishes into the seller's agreement in such terms as *seller
reserves the right to divide perennials at his/her discretion* or
something like that. I did it and the buyers were glad I wouldn't take
ALL of something leaving a big hole. I found that my kid's sleds made
great *trays* for all the pots that I potted and needed to move
regularly to get to boxes, whilst unpacking. Good luck
