    Yes, trimming keeps the plant tidy and helps it maintain its mounding shape and avoid splitting.

    You can actually dig up the entire clump and divide it into two or more sections with a shovel, depending on its size. Fall is a good time for this or you can wait until spring, just as new growth appears and before it gets too large.

    You normally trim back the plant around the middle of summer to get rid of spent blooms and improve its appearance. This plant doesn't require any special care over winter as it will die back and regrow in spring. If it looks ragged, however, you can trim it back some.

    Soil conditions can be the cause of splitting. Dividing the plant will correct the growing pattern.
