Tracy DiSabato-Aust (Garden Designer and Author) gives expert video advice on: How do you divide perennials?

How do you divide perennials?

We can divide a perennial that has a very fibrous root system by using a double-fork technique even, where we take one garden fork, put it into the clump, bring the other fork, interlock the tines, pull the handles together and then separate and create a really easy break. Mind you, I forgot to mention that, of course, the plant should be out of the ground when you're doing that, but that's a fast method for division.
