[gardeners] Late(?) Transplants

While working in one of my perennial beds yesterday,
I found some Russian Sage that had been overgrown
by crocosmia. I dug out some of both, and separated
the corcosmia corms form the sage roots. What I was left
with was basically bare-root pieces of Russian Sage, which
I planted. Will these do OK? Would I have done better
to just leave it alone?
I also found a coneflower trying to grow in the shade in the
midst of daylilies. I dug the coneflower up and divided it,
since it seemed to have basically formed two small clumps,
and transplanted both clumps. Should I cut these back?
They're both pretty leggy.
Thanks,
Harry
