Cut them back in early spring , pry them from the ground. and hack
them into divisions. They don't do as well where it snows divided in
the fall.

I'm in zone 7, the Washington DC area. We don't get all that much snow, but
it does snow usually a couple of times during the winter, just not all
winter long, and we rarely have snow on the ground for an extended period of
time. What do you think?

If they stayed green all winter then go for it.
