I have saved more than I had hoped for, just had a walk about!
Delphiniums, lupins, erygium, honesty, alliums, some big thing begining with Z, ? something like a lily, (or maybe is a lily). Sambuca, geranium been there all winter so must be evergreen, few more things, hebe, euonymous etc.
what I have lost though, is the big tall echiums, I couldnt keep the fleece on them in the wind and they are black and bent over. Shame, I was looking forward to seeing them, they are like palm trees!
I am going to try moving some bits of the japanese anemone, maybe a bit later, not sure really when to try it.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Japanese Anemones are quite 'late to show' in spring IME, but if their flowering has decreased cf previous yrs & the clump is big, then yes I'd split them as soon as your ground is workable.
I did that to my big clump of September Charm a couple of yrs back. You discard the older parts & replant the newer. It did flower sort of last yr, but should be better this yr.
I've just looked out of the window & mine is only just showing. Am in NWest. I now have the clump overplanted with small bulbs such as snowdrops & species crocus which will be dying back as the JA starts up. So double use of the space!
BTW I cant get JA Honorine Jobert to like my garden. Given up trying with it now, but others do well for me. J.

Well done!
I think if they are not flowering so well and they have grown bigger its time to divide up and make more.

in the warm weather ,I like to say spring but that's out of question now.
Thanks flowering rose, at the moment the ground is frozen, maybe at the weekend.
