The Hostas are bullet proof. Have no fear on that score. I've never split a Hellebore though. Good luck with that!

Hosta, no fear. Practice on those. Helly, careful...One of my favs, but does not like me!

thanks Wells, I have split the Hosta this morning into three smaller plants, hopefully they will survive.

I split my hellebores autumn before last, it did them the world of good. It is a tough job though, I had to use a serrated bread knife to saw through the roots. You just need to make sure you leave 3-4 growth eyes on each clump. Best time is September or October.

thank you Greenfinger for the information I was wondering when to do it. Brilliant idea to use the knife, will try to remember that one. :O)
