Hostas will bulk up quickly, but can easily be divided in autumn and early spring.
Use a garden fork to gently dig up your hosta, then use your hands or a sharp knife to separate the clump into smaller forms. Ensure that each division has a few healthy shoots before placing them in the ground.
Speaking about dividing plants, Peter Mortin, garden expert at Crane Garden Buildings, says: “Think of it as a natural way of multiplying what you already have, without having to spend more at the garden centre.
“It’s a quick job that rewards you with healthier growth and a garden that feels fuller and more balanced.”
