This is the largest clump of hosta shoots that we have in our yard. Each spring, we try to split the hosta so that we can continue to have more hosta plants interspersed among our hydrangea plants. For the most part, hosta plants are easy to maintain. I (Litsa) have tended to them at the beginning of the spring season when their shoots show you the new growth and the old growth’s debris nestled around the plants. I try to remove the old plant’s stems and other yard leaves and sticks from around the plant while it is early in the season. Additionally if we want new hosta plants to transplant, we begin splitting the hosta now.
These hosta plants were transplanted from other hosta plants. Each season they begin to grow into bigger beauties fully encircling this massive oak tree in our yard. We selected only one of the oak trees to encircle with hosta plants. Placing too many hosta plants around all of trees steals the spotlight from the trees/yard—so transplant accorrdingly. You want to make sure there is harmony and balance in your yard. However, if you have hosta plants this is the season to begin deciding if you are going to split them to create new hosta plants.
Hummingbird feeders are beautiful placed among these green beauties too. After your spring showers subside this week—or today, pull on your rain boots and take a stroll around your yard. Allow the simplicity of the season to guide you into your next spring project——or just relish in the moment of this time.
Hosta plants make their debut this spring—are they residing in your yard? Will you be splitting your plants too?
