grow it yourself

Hostas are one of the easiest perennials to grow—perfect for both beginner and expert gardeners alike! But even these low-maintenance beauties benefit from a little occasional TLC. Dividing them every few years keeps them healthy, vibrant, and thriving.
Use a pitchfork or shovel and dig up the clump of hosta once it breaks ground in the Spring.
What's Next:
02
I use a sharp knife to cut the clump into sections. I cut this clump into 2 sections.
03
Dig a hole wider and deeper than the clump you are going to plant. Pop your Hosta in the hole and backfill it with the soil.
04
Hosta are hardy and will continue to grow and get larger. Just remember to divide them again in a few years!
