Can I divide these plants and plant them or will they not divide well? I only planted these last fall and have no

experience with them. Since they're started growing, I really like them and would like to have several more just like them. So, do they divide OK? Is so, just how do I do it? I don't want to harm them. They're heucheras or something like that.

Those are indeed heucheras, Louise. If you just planted them last fall, I would not divide them now. Let them grow through this year and then divide them by hand in the fall or next spring. When the time comes, here's a video on how to do it from Dan Heims, who may well have developed the heucheras you planted:

OK. Thanks for the info. I'm so pleased with how pretty they are.

Douglas as always gives good advice. Please don't divide until they are happily growing for several seasons.
