Some perennials have roots that run on or just below the surface of the soil . They form new crowns and roots when they reach open spaces or make contact with the dirt . If you reduce between any of the stem as you would trend a piece of sod from a lawn , you will have a division with its own stems and root . In this video , author and instructor Janet Macunovich demonstrates how to split plants with open roots .

Plants with surface roots include   bee balms ( Monardaspp . and cvs . , Zones 4–9 ) , dark - eyed Susans ( Rudbeckiaspp . and cvs . , Zones 3–9 ) , crawl sedums ( Sedumspp . and cvs . , Zones 3–9 ) , creeping speedwell ( Veronicaspp . and cvs . , Zones 3–8 ) .
