Hemerocallis (Day Lily) is its name - divide in late summer/autumn, provided the ground isn't waterlogged, in which case, leave it till spring. Bit of a hard job digging these up and splitting them - two forks back to back once you've dug it up is the advised method, but I always use the bread knife and cut the clump in half, finding digging the clump up exhausting enough without wrestling with two forks afterwards...
