The best time to divide perennials depends on your climate. Here in Montana, it's usually mid to late April and early fall, from late August through September. In colder climates, spring division is preferred because it allows plants plenty of time to settle in before winter. In hot-summer climates, fall is the best time to divide; plants divided in spring may not become established before the arrival of the heat. A few plants insist on their own timetable.

Our deer and rabbit resistant designation means that the plants are less likely to be eaten, not that they never will. Wildlife browsing habits change from region to region and season to season. Environmental conditions such as droughts, fires or development can have dramatic and unpredictable effects on wildlife feeding habits. Animals are more likely to eat tender new growth. Younger animals are more likely to taste a new plant in a garden than mature animals.

The choice over whether to divide large plants really depends on your growing goals and situation. You may wish to grow the plant into a larger 'specimen plant' that will produce larger and more flowers reliably, or you may want to produce divisions for trade or sale if the plant is in demand. Because most of our plants 'work by producing seed, we are very hesitant to divide them unless they fall apart at a division point when they are repotted.

It’s always best to divide plants when dormant, or just before a period of active growth. Spring blooming plants should be divided in the fall (late Aug. to mid Sept.)

It is known that delay after diagnosis reduces the success rate after transplantation and there is now general agreement that young patients who have matched related donors should be transplanted as soon as possible after diagnosis. However, it is now clear that interferon treatment prolongs the survival of all patients and, in about 20% of patients, makes all signs of the disease disappear as long as the patients continues the treatment.

I would do it in late spring, so the plant can have a long growing season to establish in the new place.

Hostas do not need regular division to keep them vigorous. Hostas can be left undisturbed indefinitely, but when division is necessary, divide in the spring just as the plant pips are emerging from the ground, so the new foliage is not damaged. If the plants are left undivided, you can enjoy their mature beauty sooner; otherwise, the plant will take longer to become fully mature.

That will vary with the type of perennial, but, in general terms, types that flower in the fall should be transplanted in the spring, while those that bloom in the spring and summer should be dug and divided in the fall.

Most trees and shrubs do best when transplanted in the spring or fall, however I have found that with proper care you can transplant most pants just about any time. One more note about planting, a plant can be put in the ground any time of year as long as the ground is not frozen. It is the act of cutting the roots of a plant that is can kill it. A plant purchased at the nursury has already been transplanted and can be put in the ground any time as long as it gets watered.

We are fortunate in the maritime Pacific Northwest to be able to garden almost year. In fact, gardeners can plant nearly anytime the ground is not frozen. While many of us are accustomed to planting during the warm months of spring and summer, fall is actually a better time to plant almost all plants. Soil temperatures, built up during summer months, stay warm late into fall. September, October, and November can have warm soil up to hard freezes.

Black-eyed Susan's being a perennial can be divided very early in the spring before the plant has grown and certainly before the blooms have come in. A better time would be in the early fall so they will settle in and root before the winter. Generally, there is a rule of thumb if the perennial blooms in the fall divide and split in the early spring. If the bloom appears in the spring divide and split in the fall. This way the plant will have the most beneficial time in growth.

Late fall or winter is the best time to do your transplanting because most plant material is dormant and you will have a less likely chance of the plant going into shock. You also need to make sure you water the newly transplanted material before you fill the hole in with dirt. And every day for the next week, you should water the plant using a slow trickle to ensure that the roots get a thorough soaking.

Most perennials do not require a lot of fertilizer, but certainly in the spring an application can be done. 10-10-10 or 14-14-14. A time release may take care of it for 30, 60, or 90 days. Water soluble tend to wash thru quicker. And perhaps a second application mid-summer, watered in well.

It will be hard to list all the good types, but they would include (in general sequence of flowering) violets, oxalis, thrift, iris, Texas Gold columbines, hardy amaryllis, Byzantine gladiolus, butterfly weed, Salvia greggii, purple coneflower, Shasta daisy, daylilies, mallows, coneflowers, cannas, summer phlox, fall asters, spider lilies, oxblood lilies, fall crocus, Salvia leucantha and chrysanthemums.

For most plants here the windows of opportunity are January through March and September through November. For large, old, landscape specimens of Bougainvillea only, the best time is the middle of summer. Get club member advice on specifics.

Bearded irises can be divided any time after your last frost date in the spring, but many irisarians believe the optimal time to divide them is 6-8 weeks after bloom. Avoid transplanting irises in very hot weather (90+ F degrees), but do get them tr This thread came from the Soil, Compost and Mulch forum. Don't laugh too much - if you are a serious gardener these symptoms will soon be appearing in you. Enjoy. You Know You are a Compost Whacko When....... Posted by ryanzone7 profess

Yes, you can be listed for an organ transplant at more than one center. Multiple listing involves registering at two or more transplant centers in different locations. Multiple listing may increase your chances of receiving a local organ offer. For more information about multiple listing, please review this UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) brochure.

There is occasionally forehead swelling after the procedure although everything possible is done to avoid this. The little scabs where the grafts were inserted are visible for 7 to 8 days and if these cannot be hidden by existing hair then many men do take a few days off work or go on holiday.

The best time is when the rose is dormant. First prune the roses back to about 1 foot or less. After it is moved it will have less top growth to support and will give the roots time to establish themselves. If you must move a rose during the growth season, do it the same way and after planting give some shade for a week or 2 and plenty of water. You should have 80 to 90% success. Our own-root roses are smaller. They have plenty of vigor and are free of rose virus.
