Mine doesn't show signs of life for a few weeks yet, usually in early to mid spring.

Yep, all ours here are still absent, no sign of them anywhere.

Commenting because I wish to follow the replies on this thread.
Thanks :o)

I forgot to say - this plant should be divided in autumn, not spring.

I have split them before when the first shoots are just showing. But better success in the late summer early autumn.

Useful information :o)

I divided a very large plant in September. I potted up around 8 pots. So far 3 are showing signs of new growth just coming to the surface and the other 5 nothing. I have divided before in spring and found it worked ok - but did wait until there was signs of growth.
TT are you looking for some?

Hi Scottish ...
Yes. I would love some Jack Frost.

Last year Gee was hoping to kindly send me some, but her plant was not large enough to split. Hence her question ! ;o)

Thanks everyone for your help. I will still try and divide my plant up at the right time, TT, but it seems as if Scottish's kind offer will be quicker than mine :) I am extending my flower beds (and getting rid of some grass) so I am dividing everything I can!

Thanks Gee. That's very kind :o)
Good luck with your flower beds.

I can send you some when it's ready TT. You are on the list with Sticki and Pixi. I will PM you when I feel they are healthy enough to pop in the post.
