If so... do they live (in good health) forever?
Or do they peter out after a while?
Mine aren't looking so hot. I do feed and water them, but even the ones that I top-dressed with a generous 2" of compost this spring have more dead leaves than live ones.
Is this normal? Or are they sick?

I never do anything with mine and they stay healthy and bloom every year. I've been in this house 3 years now and will probably separate some next year, as they have spread every year since we moved in.

Here in NY - where we will probably be frost-free for most of September yet - do you think there's still time to divide them this season?

I agree with the comments above! I think they'll like to be divided and should do fine! This hasn't been the best year for mine (I divided last year) but it has been extremely dry and hot after a very cold winter (for us...) so I think it's been a reaction to the unusual weather possibly.
