I've heard it might be tricky. Is it true? What is the best way to that? It's this year's plant. No flowers yet.
as soon as the threat of frost has passed. Host as are pretty hardy. So go to it.
I've done it all times of the year as long as the leaves are up (I'm in MI). I've had no trouble splitting them, changing where I want them etc... they are hardy!
Hello. I find it easier to split them once they start coming up.
Probably spring is the best time when they are first starting to come up; by doing it then they are easier to move and will get a good start in the new area you're placing them. Good luck! They are a great hardy plant and really can be very decorative.

Anytime in the summer or spring when they are well established they could be thinned and transplanted. I would cut the tops off as they will wilt anyway. Don't cut them too low, though. Hope you have good luck. I am not good at such things, but I never had any problems with them in spring or summer.
Spring time when they emerge is best, that way you will decrease overcrowding and have better growth and healthier plants.
Spring, just as you see them popping up if you wait too long it will be more difficult to dig out. They are pretty hardy so don’t be afraid to get right in there and split them up. Prepare your hole ahead so you can plop it right in. Water well.
