Early spring before they are in full leaf, or fall before they die back.
Splitting hostas is best done in spring or early fall. Ideally, plan on dividing hostas before spring or fall rains arrive. Hostas suffer most when they lose roots, so dig as much of the rootball as possible. If you just need a few divisions, dig small clumps that have formed beside the larger parent clump.
In the Spring or early Fall, Lisa.
Thank you all for your answers. They helped so much.
