This perennial ground cover is another popular one in the realm of easy division. I’ve personally experimented with tons of different ground covers throughout my gardening journey and am yet to witness any ground cover more beautiful than low-growing yarrows.

Not only are geraniums useful in the garden for attracting beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies but they’re also super simple to divide, which means a higher potential for large-scale growth as well as increased number of blooms making your garden look fuller and more beautiful

8: Coral Bells

Coral bells are easier to divide thanks to their clumpy roots that, like phlox, spread around the shallow surface of the soil and don’t really need to be dug out, which risks root damage. 

Dividing coral bells makes the garden fuller and more vibrant while improving the overall health and longevity of your perennials at the same time

9: Blanket Flowers
