If they've just emerged as shoots, now is a good time - better than
when they get well into growth.
It's hot as Hades here, dunno about where you are, but if you're
going to do dividing, try to pick a cool day, overcast if not light
drizzle...in my area, it's about too late, but may be still OK where
you are.
Are you sure your choc. eupatoriums didn't make it? Mine is out, but
I'm way south of you, too.
