Is it too late now to think about dividing it? Will I simply

No problem dividing now.

I've done so, spring, summer, fall.
I don't think the plant cares.


Those things are almost unkillable. I wouldn't hesitate, either.


I finally did get around to dividing the clump in two but delayed too much
and everything was out in huge leaves already. It made the process much
more difficult and damaged a few leaves but the original and the division
both seem to be doing well now.
