Your Ventricosa hostas are very prolific reseeders but that won't happen if you cut off your flowers which prevents seed formation. Also you shouldn't mulch the area heavily as seeds need light to germinate. Your 3 small hostas you need to move ate likely in mulch that is too deep around the crowns. You may have voles eating the crowns under the mulch. That happens often during winter months. Great video! Thanks
All the free stuff survive, the one she bought almost kill. That's my story. Sweet video. Very informative. Thank you.
Hosta are also very good in salads not that anyone would destroy a plant to eat it . But if you clip them early they will produce another round of leafs . Just a FYI .
Recently learned of a tip that hostas supposedly love, Milorganite. It's supposed to also repel deer and rabbit that love hostas. I'm giving it a try this is gorgeous. I think diotomaceous earth repels slugs though I believe.
Rabbits love my hostas, especially the flowers.
I have noticed that my hostas will not grow under white pines. Upon investigation, I found that the pine have fine roots that make the soil nearly impenetrable. The pine roots essentially crowd out the hostas and choke them, and they get smaller every year.
I have the same problem with tree roots. My yard is very shady though. So I don’t put them in the ground I put them in pots in my flowerbeds. I put the parts on a piece of paving stone they look great.The hostas come back every year right through the winter. I divide them every 3 to 4 years. I also in the spring sprayed a new leaves for bugs. And they look fantastic.
I don't understand why she snips the flowers. They draw the bees and are beautiful
Paula did a fantastic job! Thank you!
Great info. I’m new at hostas because I thought they were picky plants
the deer seem to just love my hostas. I have tried several things,but so far the best thing to keep them away were mothballs. If somebody has a better idea to keep deer away, I would love to hear from you.
Does your hosta at 26 min have Hosta Virus X? Cause it sure does look like it.
Thank you great video! Shared
16:56 I wonder what the name is of that fragrant one is you mentioned. What a wealth of information now you have me jazzed about getting more, I’m a new owner, just got one yesterday called Patriot so today I’m preparing my soil to make it rich and loaded with nutrients under my tree, thank you so much guys🌸
The mulch is awfully thick. I mulched this year around one of my most beautiful hostas and it seems a bit stunted. Also I have a variety that seeds itself. I planted one and now there are at least ten new individual plants growing in a 50 square foot area.
dense tree roots are the bane of hostas.......
What type or kind of soil should I use for hostas? Nice video
The phrase up here in MN is: "Hosta grow in Divisions". Divisions can be separated either by the method shown here or by soaking and hand dividing.
The current belief is not to damage the roots/rhizomes. This will prevent inadvertent diseases and virus'. If your going to transplant hosta do not walk away from them! (whap) Finish the job and THEN move to the next job.
Where is the second half of this video????
Can't get them to grow in ground in northern ca
mine in the yard have long rhizomes. where do i cut it to separate??
What is the name of the host from minute 26 ???
