The tops I know are still green in Sussex, you will have to wait a little longer. Lift the clumps and divide with two garden forks back to back. Plant back in 3's or 5's. For the best results feed in the spring.

Don't worry Denise, they may have been in a dry state when you cut them down. Don't try to encourage them to grow before the spring as they will be subject to frost.

I did mine as well, Denise! I needed to move them, and split them at the same time. I don't think they'll lack water today, do you? LOL.
