    Pueblo is considered to be in gardening zone 5b. In that zone, the winters are cold enough that the plant needs the protection of its own stems and leaves in the winter, so they should be kept on and not cut until spring. See this article, which describes tying the leaves together above the crown for winter protection:

    It sounds like it is time to divide the plants. Dig up the entire clump and try to pull sections apart. Often the center is old and lackluster so it is tossed out and newer growth on the periphery is kept. If the clump is hopelessly tangled, force a spade through the middle and then try to pull off sections. Dig some compost into the soil and replant as many sections as desired.
