It's spreads through rhizomes so you can dig it up, and take your shovel or a pair a pruners and cut it up nicely into smaller portions, it should be divided every 2-3 years.
Pruning or cutting it back is quite easy and should be done now. You can cut it to the ground before new shoots appear. If it has already started growing, go ahead and prune it down to the tops of the new shoots and take your fingers and run them through the new grass shoots and pull out the dead ones from last season.
It's a very pretty grass!!!
