    Hiya folks.

    Recently bought one of these and is now planted out. Looking ahead I’m thinking it’s large enough to be divided, probably into three. Question is, when would be the best time to do this?
    Regards, Freddy.

    I wouldn't, I think they hate root disturbance if its the kind of broom I'm thinking of.

      Thanks for that @pete , I didn’t know that. Would you expect it to increase in size much? It’s probably around 9” across (at the base) at the moment.

          I'm not sure, not quite the broom I was thinking of but I'd be wary, I'm sure others might be growing this.
