Just when do you have that spring sale? Us MN people need to know this information! Also, is a garden tour included with the sale for entertainment?

When I wake up the wind is howling outside the window, a glance outside shows a dusting of snow. Boo hoo, just 3 days ago I was outside potting perennials for the city wide garage sale coming up in a couple of weeks. Last night I hauled the potted hosta roots into the kitchen. They were so brave com...

I'm really glad to hear your opionion Chris because I don't like to divide. I want them to get as big as possible & I've heard, maybe on this forum, that it takes 5 to 6 years for a hosta to mature & that is without dividing or moving it. If it is moved or divided it sets it back.

The color encylopedia of hostas says you need to divide Pauls Glory every 4 0r 5 years to maintain the correct color. Is this true? What color does it become without division?

Thank you so much for giving me a name for my green sport. I'm also happy to know that it wil be fab. Just one year after division it looks great.

last year my peridigm sent out an all green sport which I devided off. This year the paradigm is staying true to itself & the all green sport is spectacular for an all green hosta. Very pebbled & it is just now sending up a bloom shoot. That's a brave hosta in MN.

Last evening I was strolling the hosta of the year patch & I noticed smal ant like critters busily chewing away on guacomole & stained glass. The eyes had just come up last week & were looking great then I noticed a decline. Now they are so sad. Last nite is the first time I saw the critters though....

Hi there, I'm no expert, but I too was worried about the appearance of some of my hostas. I started looking at the hostas in the better garden centers & some of them looked just like mine did. I think in the late summer & fall some hostas tend to develope a splochy appearance that is a little scary....
