Talking about herbs a few minutes ago reminded me that the chives are
now 2 years old and have made up into a sizeable clump. I want to
grow them in 2 positions, one for the flowers and one for cooking,
will half of the clump transplant well or should I start from scratch?

I had a large pot of chives that needed to be split. I just chopped
then into four. I gave two away, planted one in the garden and
repotted the other. The pot is bursting again and the bunch in the
garden is now about a foot across so I think it's OK just to split up
the clump.
