When is the best time to divide ferns?

17 years ago

I have friend that is willing to share some nice ferns with me but I do not want to do it at the wrong time. I have tried to search but this feature does not seem to work, Thanks for any info, Les

I have had best results early in the spring, when you can see them coming up, but they are pretty small. Fall works too but it takes more watering and it is risky with winter coming on. What sort? Maiden hair has been the toughest for me to get divided successfully.

Definitely spring. Or, whenever someone is willing to share :-)
