Commonly Asked Questions

Do hostas come back every year?

Yes, hostas are perennials, meaning they do come back every year. As they grow, they often get bigger and better with each season, making them a long-lasting addition to your garden with just one planting.

Where do hostas grow best?

Hostas thrive in moist soil and partial shade, making them ideal for planting under trees or on the north side of buildings. While most prefer shade, some yellow-leaved varieties can tolerate more sun.

Can you leave hostas in the ground over winter?

Yes, mature hostas can be left in the ground over winter. They benefit from a layer of mulch, like weed-free straw or pine needles, applied in mid to late November to protect against harsh conditions.

Do hostas grow better in pots or the ground?

Hostas can grow well in both pots and the ground. Some, especially smaller and miniature varieties, tend to do better in pots where their moisture levels can be more easily controlled.

What happens if you don't cut back hostas?

If you don't cut back hostas, the first freeze will kill the leaves, turning them brown and unattractive. Removing dead leaves helps prevent disease and pests, such as insects and slugs, from overwintering in your plants.
