Are you growing hosta plants this year? Now is a great time to divide them! Learn why you should do it this fall with these simple tips.
Hostas are perennial plants that live for more than two years and return each growing season.
Unlike annuals, which complete their life cycle in one growing season, perennials grow and bloom for several years, producing flowers and foliage that die back and return the following growing season.
To help maintain their overall health and vigor, perennials like plantain lilies, need to be divided every few years.
In general, perennials need to be divided every few years to maintain overall plant health, keep their growth size in check, prevent overcrowding, and it’s a budget-friendly way to grow your garden.
And don’t worry about damaging the plant when you divide them, because they’ll appreciate the time you put in splitting them.
