Maintaining Wild Tip
by Besa Schweitzer, chapter member
Plant and divide perennials and grasses March through May.
As the ground warms, spring plants will send out its first green growth.
It is easiest to move when it is less than an inch of growth above the ground.
When plants are clump forming the plants along the edge of the clump can be dug to start clumps elsewhere or dig out the whole clump and divide it up to replant in appropriate locations.
