I have a relatively large plant of 'Thor', I can share a piece of it to you. When is the best time?

Beautiful thing, isn't it? I'd like to find it on this side of the pond. I've seen it in only one garden (and I was a goooood boy.).

Early or mid summer. Hacquetia has a reputation for disliking root disturbance, but if you divide it in the summer when it is pushing out new roots, every piece that has a growing point and roots will establish.

Such has been my experience.

I agree with Rodger, the best time is just as they put out their new roots. I have never had a problem splitting them as long as I split them just after they have finished flowering.

I've wanted 'Thor' since I saw it in a book.  Last year it appeared in
the catalogue of Thimble Farms, so I put in on my shopping list and
went over on the ferry a couple of months later.  Guess what???

Yep.  Richard had received it as a trade and had spent ten years bulking
it up before listing it.  He was surprised at the response. 

So ten years from now I will order it immediately.

Hope you manage to get one sooner than that Diane - I regularly see things in US and Canadian catalogues where the nursery won't export to Europe due to all the red tape involved and it's quite frustrating.. but makes it even more special when we finally track one down at home ? I got my plants young from Edrom Nurseries in the UK and grow them with Anemone Obtusiloba (which flowers well into early Summer and on & off until frosts) and Muscari 'Valerie Finnis', the last of which can just be seen at the right of the photo. Cheers me up every time I walk past them !

I still find it hard to believe it's part of the Apiaceae family with so many herbs like Coriander, Dill and Celery. Never had the courage to crush the leaves and see if they smelt

I have just consulted my memory bank (Mrs W.) and we have had it growing for several years. Not rampant but does okay.

I split them just after they have finished flowering.

From memory my plant kept its flowers for months. How do you know when it has finished?
