How can I reduce the size of my hosta?
To thin a hosta plant, divide the clump into separate sections, each of which can be replanted to start a new plant. Though you can divide a hosta any time the ground is workable, it’s best to do it in the spring just as the leaves emerge from the ground, or in the fall about six weeks before the first expected frost.
