grow Marco here in Edinburgh. I plant in October and lift in early June. They do look a bit pathetic as plants. Marco has a tendency to send out flower spikes, you can cut these and use them in stir-fries and salads. Keep the biggest cloves you harvest

years you can lift and divide them easily with a spade and turn your boggy site into a beautiful area.  Perhaps some ferns too with some day lillies, astilbies and hostas (watch the slugs).  Not forgetting the gorgeous ligularia - one of my favourites

- OH was admiring a H Citronelle in our local garden centre just yesterday.  Be aware  that they need dividing every three years or so, as they cradulaly rise above soil level on thick woody stems. Take pieces from the edge, chuck the middle bit

back which was quite nice too 'Iceberg'.  I grow 'Autumn Joy' and one called 'Matrona'...   I think to keep them compact you should lift and divide in Spring otherwise they will grow big and flop over...   mine are a bit behind this year, but I do love

and usually get a head start.   Maybe something to do with having a foot of snow on them last week. Lots of wet stuff due this weekend and maybe snow again on Monday so no lifting and dividing here yet. Hi Obelixx. It'slovely and sunny here in w Manchester

. Be patient, and see what new growth develops. REmember that agapanthus usually like being reasonably pot bound, so don't lift and divide too frequently. Hello i've inherited a garden full of agapanthus, and all the leaves are still there from last year

wildflowers are more robust than others.You may already have one - the goldenrod. It's not an English wildflower, but it is a wildflower in North America. You could lift and divide some clumps of that, and spread them around. I can remember the 'old

water level. Your plants sound great and I'm sure you have more than enough. I can never understand why water plants are so expensive as they grow so fast. You will soon be dividing your lily (a couple of years)and lifting out pond weed as it overtakes

seed sown as normal then left in a cold frame in early Autumn, prick them out into a nursery bed in Spring and leave for three or four years before planting in position in the Autumn.They can be divided but make sure you have roots and dormant buds

exhuberant in my garden and I may have to get ruthless with it this year.  Phlomis Russeliana is self seeding very happily and so needs rooting out a bit this year and lysomachia clethroides alba needs lifting, dividing and giving away as it's a bit too happy
