Re: Dividing Knowledge
Hello Duncan,
This is one of those questions that has no one answer. Much depends upon the
region you garden in and the weather you experience there. Another is simply
experience over time and killing a few perennials in the process of learning.
Perennials that are very early bloomers, such as the ephemeral natives do best
with fall dividing and planting. Right now they are setting contractile roots and
buds for next years stems and blooms. On the other hand, Pulmonaria do best if you
wait until spring just after the complete blooming. For every rule there is an
exception.
There is an article on fall planting on my web site under Garden Clippin's
newsletter you may want to take a look at. The full version appears in Kentucky
Gardening mag September issue.
