If I hadn't read your post, I wouldn't have even noticed it. The yellow is so soft, it blends in perfectly in the forest. I spotted several clumps on it at the edges of the wood and may have to go back to dig up some for my garden.

It will...I wouldn't divide your plant just now. It will bloom in about a months time and dividing it now will stress the plant and may mean that you lose your flowers. If you have no other choice but to lift and divide it in the spring, do it after it flowers (mid-June). Water the divisions on a regular basis to aid the plant in its recovery. The better time for division would be the fall. The reasons; its not in flower, the temperatures are cooler and there tends to be more rain in the fall.<br />I have had my plant for years and have never divided it. It's slow-growing and plants like this generally don't require frequent division. The reason you might want to divide it is to make more plants. I hope to divide my Merry Bells this fall for this very reason. As I said, I don't have experience in this particular division, but my gut instinct tells me to lift the clump and divide it with a knife. Hope this helps.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-11855410440419395292020-04-19T08:23:53.535-07:002020-04-19T08:23:53.535-07:00I live in Ontario just outside Toronto and have a ...I live in Ontario just outside Toronto and have a shade garden, love this native plant given to be as a gift from another gardener friend. how can i divide it, it is a large clump and its very early srpring, i read you nedd to do this in the fall? can i do it now in spring?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08072435673052105564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-34722043716691423822020-04-14T05:12:38.651-07:002020-04-14T05:12:38.651-07:00I can just imagine the combination of plants you d...I can just imagine the combination of plants you describe Melissa– it would be wonderful.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-51242370178496731762020-04-13T17:56:42.966-07:002020-04-13T17:56:42.966-07:00I have some that have multiplied nicely here in no...I have some that have multiplied nicely here in north Alabama.
