If you are familiar with your Perennials,then you know what an overcrowded crown looks like. This is when its time for some maintenance. That is a word I like to use a lot due to the fact that gardening is "work" but an extremely rewarding form of one, don't forget.
I tend to divide anything that will tolerate it. I have been doing it for the past two weeks, if it shows its head through ground, I start to dig. I usually just divide the clump by hand when all possible. Just a preference I have for this process, gentler way of doing it.
Just divided Sedums today and it was anything but gentle. Basically drove a shovel through the crown of plant and then transplanted separate parts. Hosta/Lily of the Valley can be done in same way.
