Hosta Plant Sales, Specialist Online Hosta Nursery In The UK 

As we get towards the end of the season, you will notice that a lot of your Hosta foliage is starting to change colour, often showing autumnal tones. Why do they do this?

We use nematode control for both Vine Weevil and slugs & snails. As nematodes are not available in garden centres, and need to be bought on-line, they are not generally that well known. Let’s put that to rest now!

Splitting or dividing Hosta is a great way to maintain the shape of your plants, extend their lives, create new plants for other parts of the garden, and to improve the look and vitality of the existing crown. Splitting is easy, once you know what to do.

The plain coloured reversion is usually a stronger growing part than the variegated bit and if left alone will eventually take over the whole plant. If caught early enough, it is often just a leaf or two. All that is needed in this situation is to take out these leaves by removing them from the base taking out the whole section including the crown and roots. This may need to be repeated in certain cases.

All three factors need to be optimum to achieve maximum size. Anything less than this the giant Hosta may not reach its full potential.
