Allegheny spurge is a well-behaved clump-forming groundcover that cloaks itself in mottled leaves of dark bluish-green with blotches of silver that are sure to create season-long interest in your garden.
Clump Forming Ornamental Grasses
Clump forming ornamental grasses are favored by gardeners because they are less aggressive.
Clump forming grasses, literally, grow in mounds or clumps. They usually mix well with other perennials, and are not invasive but increase in diameter over time.
clump
a cluster, usually of trees, planted for visual effect in a landscape garden in the picturesque style.
coffer
one of a series of recessed panels in a ceiling, usually done in plaster.
Clump Style
When a cone or fruit containing several seeds falls in fertile soil and several trees grow at the same time, they may merge to form a tree with multiple trunks. Each trunk naturally bends outward from the group to reach for the light.
If the clump is very large, it may just be easier to use the serrated kitchen knife, to cut through the clump. You can cut the clump in various sizes, such as simply in half, into thirds, or quarters.

Rake up clumps. Leave small and finely chopped clippings on the lawn where they will decompose and improve the soil's health, but remove clumps that can smother the grass. Sweep clippings off sidewalks and driveways for a neat appearance.
Clump bamboos are easier to deal with because they are less aggressive. Hardy clump bamboo (Fargesia murielae; Zone 5) has the appearance of a radiant green fountain, with its 8- to 12-foot weeping stems, and will tolerate light shade.
Clumps of bearded irises should be divided and replanted before they become overcrowded. A single rhizome will branch many times over the years, developing into a crisscross clump, often choked with old leafless rhizomes.
Clumping varieties work best. Select a large container with holes in the bottom for drainage. Bamboo likes loose and rich soil that drains well. Use plenty of peat moss and other loose medium. Fill partially with soil.
Clumping varieties can be propagated by taking branch cuttings, grown from seed or by tissue culture. The Lewkowskis propagate by branch cuttings struck on heated beds where they grow roots in about three weeks.
Clumping -Non-Invasive - bamboos do most of their above ground growth during the "summer" (in Hawaii this is roughly May-October).

Most clumping bamboos are tropical, but the genus Fargesia grows in temperate climates and some of its species are hardy down to -20°F, although they don't grow well in exposed, sunny locations.
This clump-forming perennial requires well-drained soil and has blue flowers that last up to 12 weeks from early to midsummer. It is short-lived, but readily self-seeds.
Site and Plant Characteristics
Growing Information ...
Iris clumps should be separated every two to three years to prevent the rhizomes from choking one another out. Use a spade to turn up each clump of rhizomes and separate them by hand, then re-plant about half of them.
Uses: Clumps, boarder plantings.
Growing conditions: Full sun, well drained soil.

Divide clumps every few years to avoid overcrowding.
Insect and Disease:
Insects like to nest in the leaves in the fall, especially aphids. Spray or dust lightly with insecticide or insecticidal soap as needed.
A large clump of Miscanthus sinensis, which stands next to a wide twig archway covered in hop vine, reaches two metres each year after being cut to ground level every spring.
Between clumps of plants, allow open space to facilitate air circulation. Pathways that thread through a moist shade garden act as channels for health-giving light and air, and they even become drainage ditches during heavy rains.
Refresh clumps of bearded iris and gain new plants by dividing their underground stems (called rhizomes) anytime after bloom; in desert areas, wait until soil cools in fall.
Growing clumps can be divided once every 3-4 years to prevent them getting too thick.
Varieties To Try ...
Generous clumps of leaves appear in spring and resemble a well-established tuft of daffodils. If you plant colchicum in the lawn, allow the leaves to die down in early summer before you mow the grass.
Plant in clumps and drifts rather than long straight rows. Rows only suit large scale parks or farms. When planting I find it easiest to first remove the soil from the plot I`m planting up and place all the bulbs in first before back filling.
A vigorous clump forming plant with yellow flowers - these consist of a spathe enclosing a flower spike.

Stool A clump of roots used for propagation, usually applied to layering
Strain A race within a species reproduced by seed; many are now cultivars.
Stratification A temperature treatment of seed used to break dormancy.
Now, select the clumps to be returned to the border. Aim for one or more sections collectively about 15" in diameter per perennial. Use the newer growth around the outside of the clumps.
Daylilies are a clumping perennial with attractive arching sword shaped leaves and tuberous roots. They can be deciduous, semi-evergreen or evergreen.
Appearance Bushy clumps which grow to 60cm high. Yarrow has dark green feathery leaves and has a nice smell when bruised. It has clusters of white flowers and the leaves have a slightly bitter taste but are nice chopped in cheese dishes.
Dig up the entire clump, shake off most of the dirt, and then grip each side of the clump. Pull, twist, or tease the plantlets apart so that each stem gets some roots.
Plant lavender in clumps or rows of three to five plants to showcase their flowers and fragrance.
Plant small bulbs in clumps. Cut back after flowering to 2 inches at end of season. Can be brought indoors in containers for steady winter harvest. Cilantro (Coriander leaves, Chinese Parsley) has been cultivated for thousands of years.
growing in tufts or clumps; matted.chaff search for term- n. (AS. ceaf, chaff) dry scales or bracts, as those on the receptacle subtending the flowers in the heads of certain Compositae.
Example 1: Augustus Caesars gardens, Example 2: Middle ages clumpA Clump is a group of trees (or shrubs) planted together to form a group.
Leave clippings, not clumps to add moisture, nutrients and a mulching effect; however, remove clumps because they will block the sun and heat up as they decay, killing the under-lying grass.
Dig under a clump of rhizomes and lift out the whole clump. Wash away the soil and inspect them for any pinholes or soft spots. Remove and discard any diseased rhizomes.
If a clump becomes too large for a given space, or you wish to share some of the plant with a friend, fall is the ideal time for dividing. Cut back the foliage and carefully lift the entire plant out of the ground.
Siberian iris form dense clumps
Division
There are two opportunities for dividing Siberian Iris. To insure flowering it is best to divide in early spring as new growth just appears.
Interesting yellow or white variegation on a green, heart shaped leaf on a trailing clumping vine. This is a low light specialist and the toughest one I know; if you kill this one you're not trying! Water it once a month and give it some room.
Ease a fork under the clump and lever it up carefully, making sure you keep as much of the rootball as possible. Put it on a bare patch in the border or place onto a plastic sheet on the grass - this will prevent your turf from being damaged.
In the spring, cut clumps back to the ground by late March in anticipation of new growth. Plants should be divided every 5 to 10 years to keep the center of the clump from dying.

Wet grass is difficult to cut evenly, dulls blades, and tends to form clumps.
Clean the mower deck periodically. Wet clippings can become matted on the underside of the mower deck, resulting in clumping of clippings or mechanical failure.
Tangled, dense, snarled clumps of branchlets sometimes grow on full-sized trees. Called witches’ brooms, these can be caused by disease or genetic mutation. Rooted cuttings from a witches’ broom maintain a dwarf habit.
Seed mutation.
Perhaps it is because one of the first plants a friend suggested was Lyme grass - a vicious spreading thing that went from an attractive clump of blue leaves to an eight foot thug over the first fall and subsequent spring.
Lime adds calcium to soils, creates clumps in clay soils (increasing aeration), and raises the pH of acidic soils. Gypsum is commonly used on soils low in minerals and provides both calcium and sulfate to the soil.
Image by MïK Watson Most people are familiar with the large clumps of lush, grass-like foliage and creamy white feathery plumes of pampas grass (though pink varieties are available too).
Pull up the soil, turn it over, and break up the clumps. Repeat this process through the entire garden bed. When finished, add soil amendments.
Black lace cactus starts out as a single stem and slowly clusters to form an impressive clump. It is the "shaggy dog" of lace cacti with its long (but friendly) brownish or pinkish spines arranged in neat, comb-like rows.
Graceful bamboo, which many people are surprised to learn is a giant grass, comes in more than a thousand varieties, yet all are classified as either clumping or running.
To separate, set the clump on the ground. Take two garden forks and place them back to back in the clump. Gently pry them away from each other, thus separating the plant. This is the preferred method, as it's more gentle on the plant and roots.
If you are bringing chives indoors, divide a clump, and pot up in good houseplant soil. Leave your chive plant outdoors for a month or so after the first frost to provide a short period of dormancy.
