We can over-winter the hardier varieties of mums. I don't divide them in the fall though. I've had rather bad luck dividing and transplanting perennials in the fall. It might work further south, but up here, it seems to be too much for the plants and they usually die. I find that some plants (mums for example), grow so fast that you're further ahead to just wait until spring to cut them apart and put them wherever you want them. BTW, I have some feverfew chrysanthemums that you can divide into little clumps from one root each spring and they'll be huge and in flower by July. You can cut them right back almost to the ground and have a another huge batch of flowers by September or early October... very hardy flowers.
