They are very easy to divide and propogate. As plants mature small new plants will appear at the base of the main plant and these can be separated and will grow very well. Make sure that you bring some root with it. Dig up/loosen the whole plant and the new plants should be easy to separate. I've normally done it in spring but others may know if there is a better time.
