| Yes, I got this plant from a division from susan a few years ago, and since I have dug up offspring from the spreading 3' wide clump a couple of times for other people. I try to get as much roots as I can, and the division would look wilted and sad, but would tend to recover after a couple of weeks. Its one of those durable plants that doesn't disappear in the winter. I like it. |

| Did you dig the whole thing up to divide it? Jill B. |
|
| No, I would just dig some offshoots from the main clump, where it is spreading. (it seems to spread slowly with underground runners...but notfar and wide like japanese anemone.) Getting a good offshoot with some roots is easier than digging up the whole clump, which i'll probably have to do someday. |
|
| Now that we know how to divide them may I ask a question? Will they grow and thrive on the Gulf Coast? So far I have not had any luck with them here, and most places they grow like weeds? Any idea about what I am doing wrong? |

| Is it best to divide the daisies in the fall or wait for spring? |
