And how would you do this? Is there a site that shows how to do this?[/quote]

Yes, they can be divided, and should be every 3 or 4 years. Lift with a garden fork instead of a shovel...it protects the roots better. Pull apart by hand into a couple of divisions and replant. Throw away any woody clumps, usually from the center. If you google "dividing heuchera," you will find a lot of sites that will give more info.

Thanks a ton! I'll do that google search!

I just took 30 cuttings of my heucheras. I used a scalpel knife and cut out one of the little plants that seem to grow up the stems. then I dipped them in rooting hormone and potted them up in 1/2 sand 1/2 potting mix. I would have done this earlier in the year except that the weather was so blasted hot. I did this Monday and we are supposed to have rain and clouds till Sat so figured it was a good time to try to make more! I just hope they root up before frost so I don't have to have them in the "greenhouse" all winter. But they are so colorful, I guess I wouldn't really mind too much. I have done a few this in the spring and they seemed to root quickly. I just test by tugging at them after a couple weeks to see if they are rooting down. Also they start making new little leaves in the center. Then I put them out and hope for the best.
I googled and found this to be one of the methods. Also said late summer is a good time to divide.
Crossing my fingers as the cuttings look pretty!

Thanks, I think being it's my 'first' time dividing these, I'll do it in the spring when I don't have to worry about snow next week or something! hm...well, less worrying anyway. Never know in this state!

But thanks!

Old tailes here say you have to take cuttings every year and trow away the old part... did that with the first one... but I am lazy and love to find other ways.. so here is what I do now.
If I want more, I just take 2" or so of the mother plant everywhere it is disharmonic.. pell off a few leafs and plant them in potting soil.

If a mother plant will be ugly one day I might dig it up and split it, but for now, they do not know it is possible and seems to like the lazy way
