Dig up the entire root clump with a spade shovel. It’s easier to go around the perimeter of the plant first, and then slice through to create sections so you can remove a nepeta clump with ease
Gently shake off the excess soil from the roots, and then use a clean garden knife or sharp spade to divide the plant into smaller clumps. I don’t use a sharp knife for this, but I know some gardeners that do.
Each clump should have several healthy new shoots and a good root system.
Replant the smaller sections in their new location at the same depth they were originally growing, and water them thoroughly.
Mulch around the plant base to help retain moisture.
And give them lots of water after transplanting. They need it!
