I have two huge oversized Dianthas mounds that I would like to split. Can I do so now (temps around 80)

What Dianthus do you have? Can you post a picture?

Normally they are divided in early spring just as new growth is showing up.If you decide to do so now, water them well the day before divide them. Some sites suggest just using a spade to cut through the plant and then lifting half to a new location.
