Geraniums

I planted several purple geraniums on my scented bed because I read that they were good ground cover and also deterred greenfly.

They have been very successful indeed, spreading like wild fire and blooming endlessly (as they are still doing).

I would like to split them and plant some of them somewhere else. Can I do this? - and if so when? I would not like to disturb them yet as they are in full flow.

Lots of thanks for your help.

Is this a macrorhizome (? Sp), lucky? I had a splendid magenta one once but’ ‘lost it’. I have better luck with the clear blue, but always divide them in spring, Not now. Works fine.

I've always divided them at any time and still had 100% success
