I have a plant that was here when I moved in in '86. I dug it up from its original location and it has lived life in a pot for the past several years. This year, it is obvious it's multiplied many times and needs to be divided and given a proper home. But what? I am at a loss what to do and when. Notice I'm in Phoenix and we are headed for triple digit temps any day now. Should I divide it and keep it in separate pots till cooler weather? It's always had shade, so I'm guessing it wants to stay in the shade. It has only bloomed a few times in 20 years and I'd like to give it good conditions so it will bloom. It smells heavenly when it does.
