 things anyway, especially in zone 8. If she wants to work it out to several

 divided after they bloom. This is true of most plants except for the normal
 expectation of drought and summer heat in zone 8. Not only better for the
 plants, but better for the gardener if major planting is left until cooler
 weather in the fall.... Nnancy >>
