They're both easy to divide, and are fairly accommodating in autumn or spring - or almost any time really. Make sure they're damp, so water first if the ground's dry, lift, chop through the middle, or into more pieces if it's a big plant, and replant, or put in pots to grow on. It's generally better to wait until foliage has died back, or more or less died back. You don't want too much top growth for the roots to sustain, although at this time of year, it's easier as the temps and conditions are cooler and that's easier for the plants. In warmer times, it's best to cut back the top growth by half at least. Just keep them ticking over if in pots - don't have them in full sun all the time.
I'm assuming you're talking about hardy geraniums, not pelargoniums.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I think you can do cuttings from campanulas, but I've never done it.
With hardy geraniums, you can almost pull bits off and stick them in a pot and they root. I'm also assuming these are reasonably mature plants too - not tiny things, in which case you'd need to let them mature a bit

Yes they are a hardy Geranium, not sure which one though!
Can they also be propagated or just divided?

I think I will just stick to dividing!
