It is really important to sterilize tools in between each different plant to prevent spread of HVX or other hosta diseases.

[@mymainegardens]

Great reminder! Thank you :)

Our hummingbirds love the flowers. I won a contest with my picture of a hummingbird on the flower

[@mymainegardens]

Mine too! I would love to see that photo! I left most of mine this year and removed the flowers/stems after they started to go by.

But what about when they're fragrant? I've planted mostly fragrant ones specifically for that.

[@mymainegardens]

Oh I bet they are lovely! Enjoy them for as long as you can… hosta life is short:). Thank you for watching and commenting…

[@SisterFromAnotherPlanet]

@@mymainegardens Well, they WILL be hopefully...babies just put in this year! 😁But your advice was super helpful for the giant one my mother planted at least a decade ago. Thanks!

I prefer to cut them all out for aesthetics and my wife wants me to leave them so I’m going to tell her the American hosta association advises cutting them out!

[@mymainegardens]

ohhh boy ... good luck with that;)
