Astilbes

I am trying to create a bog garden in a very wet lawn, and have several Astilbe plants in other areas, can I lift and divide those clumps please, and at what season?

Thanks

    Yes.  Best done in autumn as they start to go over and their root scan take advantage of the warm soil to grow over winter or in spring when they're just emerging and bursting with life and energy.
