This morning I found a video tutorial that answers the question “How to divide daylilies”.

Martha Cycz (in this video) has been a perennial backyard gardener for more than 20 years. She was filmed by Christian Munoz-Donoso. Ms. Cycz has produced several videos demonstrating the “how-to” gumption of a seasoned gardener.
When I watched the video for the first time I thought that she had most certainly killed the plant by driving the shovel through the center of its root stock.
Watch, and be the judge!
