Just my opinion, but I'd wait until it is done producing the current
season's pitchers. Right now, the new growth is extremely tender and
will break very easily, so you might lose some of your largest pitchers
and rhizomes offshoots if you disturb it at this point. Done carefully
though, you can get away with it if you feel lucky. :)
