Hi--Thanks to El Nino, the frost is out of the ground.  I have some
Aster cultivars such as A. nova-angliae 'Purple Dome' and nova-belgii
'Royal Opal'.  Can I dig them up now and divide them or dig beside them
and try to separate off part of the root system without digging up the
whole plant?  If so, I plan on putting the new pieces in a cold frame
for a little more protection until spring actually arrives.

Thanks,
Jean Halverson

 I think you would be pushing your luck to divide now.  I am in Zone 7 on the Eastern Shore of Md and mine are just about 1 inch above ground and I am going to wait a couple more weeks.
