QuestionHelp! Need info on how to divide Hostas--when, how, THX
AnswerHostas are the most eaasily dividable plant. They are all forgiving!
Wait until the hosta are about 6 inches in height and not in full leaf. Just take a shovel and press it with your foot-you may have to really shove- and dig out a hunk. Go down deep enough that you get the whole bulbs. If you want to divide this clump further-just cut into pieces, remembering that each must have part of the bulb. They will grow almost anywhere!
I hve divided them later with a lot of success also. I would not divide them past June or into the fall. Spring is the ideal time.
