Its one of the best plants for growing near the sea but does need a bit of space !

Sorry, the small plants growing near the base are part of the plant and the start of the clump, so, no, theres nothing you can do with them ? when the plant matures, you may divide the clumps but the long sword like leaves have to be cut back to about 12 " for these divisions to survive !
