If they are green then they are feeding the roots. There is no "need" to cut them off. And, probably no great need to keep them now. Did you cut the crown to make this division or did you separate eyes with roots, it you cut the crown then there may be some loss this year but not much next year.

It just really doesn't sound like there is any problem going forward. "Going Forward", am I beginning to sound like a political commentator.

my best advice .... dig one up and find out what is going on.. where you cant otherwise see ... underground ...

on all plants... grow the roots... and the plant will follow ...

unfortunately .. you cant see them.. unless you dig one up ...

next... admit it... its september... all the plants are starting to look ratty ... for a lot of us up north ... nothing you will do.. will extend the season ...

so ... once you confirm roots are growing... replant .... and just say to yourself... see you next season ..

good luck

I did not cut the crown, I separated the eyes for the divisions.

Then they are going to be fine next year. Save other problems unrelated to dividing.
