hosta question

I am new to this plant...

My MIL divided her hostas and gave me a shoot last year which I planted. I live in zone 5b. I see it coming up again this year (end of April). Will it amount to much this spring/summer and get much bigger? I am just wondering how long it will take to look full. It will die by November once the frost hits and bloom again next spring.

Thanks!

Re: hosta question

  • Yep, it should do it very well this year.  We divided a dozen huge plants into 1/6ths last fall and they've come back handsomely.  Since you're in Canada, I'm guessing it's only just started to come up.  Give it the summer - it should do quite well.

    I agree w/TH - Hostas are hardy and grow quickly, it should get nice and big now that it's more established.

  • i have mutant hostas in my front yard. they're HUGE! they started coming up about a month ago, but I'm in NJ, so our weather may be a little ahead of yours. Good luck!
  • I gave my MIL some hostas a few weeks ago and they're already starting to grow back from where I dug them up. The rest of them are about twice as big as they were at the end of summer when we moved in. Just be patient! They'll start spreading soon.
