I have had Lola Branham for 11 years and I can't recall that I ever had to divide it. It grows very slow in my climate and it is not what I would call a very prolific bloomer. It blooms late, which is a plus, but I only get about 2 scapes on it. Scapes sometimes do not stand erect and are prone to leaning quite a bit which is not a plus for this cultivar. I love her pretty face so that is why I keep her.
