Please be careful! They are lovely though!
I've divided them before. In fact, that's how I got these plants that I do have. They were in our horticulture class garden. When I did my internship in the Greenhouse, one of my projects was to divide all the perennials.

I also have about 7 or 8 daylilies to divide at the end of this season. I can actually divide them now, but decided to wait. I already divided my Lavender and Grasses.
