I am expanding my perennial garden, and I would like to divide two salvia plants and a sedum. Can I do that now in mid-July?

Sedum can also be propagated by cuttings. You can cut off 6 inches or so of the stem, then pull off the bottom two sets of leaves and stick that part into the soil. Where the leaves were attached roots will form. Make sure to have good soil contact against the part of the plant that is in the ground.
