Which Perennials should I divide in the Fall?

September and October are the best months to spruce up your perennial garden by dividing and transplanting some of your perennials. During these months the temperatures are cooler and rain is more likely. This gives the transplanted perennials time to take root and do well in their new surroundings. You should try to divide and transplant perennials about six weeks before the first hard frost in your area.

Some Perennials to Divide in Fall would include:
Astilbe
Asiatic Lily
Oriental Lily
Lily-of-the-Valley
Bleeding Heart
Siberian Iris
Japanese Iris
Veronica
Peony

Generally, bloom time determines when you should divide and transplant perennials. Spring and early summer flowering perennials can be transplanted in fall. Late summer and fall bloomers are better suited for moving in the spring.
