Is it ok to split and move a healthy established Aster now? It flowers late autumn.

Best time to lift and split would be after it has flowered as you will stress the plant if you do so now and it may well not flower at all.

Thought as much but thanks very much for your advice.

I would leave it until early spring, just as it us starting to shoot again. If we have a wet winter, small pieces are more likely to rot.

Will leave until spring, agree about the possibility of a wet winter. Thanks very much.
