Dividing Hostas Early
 
Is there anything wrong with dividing and replanting hostas before
they have actally come up for spring? I know one should do it before
thay quite unfurl, but can I do it even before that?

Thanks much

I break them when I want. Main problem here is mole/vole.
I usually give a plant a few years then tear it apart. Certain special
types get more attention. In time more qualify as special ;))

Planted Helbores and fern's and caladium's in a bed. Treat the latter
as an annual.

Yes. Dig, divide, and replant. It should be fine.
