Can I divide extremely large miscanthus sinensis grass in the fall? What an absolutely gorgeous grass but alas it outgrew my small garden within a couple of years. If I can divide it is anyone interested in a chunk? ![IMG_2382](https://forum.comoxvalleyhortsociety.ca/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9b4f6503c8af00c925e155fa8fb200ab6daf5997.jpeg) ![IMG_2383](https://forum.comoxvalleyhortsociety.ca/uploads/default/original/2X/4/49169ffa3bfd867209dbf1bee1550432cc40bf76.jpeg) ---

Hi Green Thumb Granny. I would definitely be interested in some of your large miscanthus if you still have some available. I have a large yard that had no landscaping when we moved in last year. I’ve been working hard this this summer to add plants/trees/shrubs and some big grass would be perfect. Thanks. Mary. ---

Generally grasses do best when divided in the spring once they have started to regrow. Here is a link to Monty Don’s information.

Hi Mary, You definitely can have a nice big clump. I would love to dig the plants up this fall but if that means the they may not make it over the winter I am willing to wait. Would you still be interested in the spring? If so, would you mind sending me your email so I can contact you directly? Cheers, Barb ---
