I plant them at the outlying edge of my yard closest to the woods. That are my first line of defense if Liquid Fence has started to wear off... the deer get them first. If one is nibbled, I know I have to reapply the stinky stuff.

Well the ones that lose me after a while that are not diseased i dig em up and plant ever so close to the compost pile, and every single one i did that with won me over with in 2 years. So now i have half host half compost bed.

I dig them up and trade them at the local plant exchange. There is a never ending line of people who want hostas, they don't care what kind. Some I even sell clumps at the Farmer's Market. That gives me enough money to buy corn and squash there (which I don't have room to grow on account of the hostas taking up every spare inch of space.)

I've got some beautiful Ragged Robins, Centaurea, Bleeding Hearts, and daylilies in trade that way too.

I have a Lunar Eclipse and, believe me, someone beat that hosta with the ugly stick. It always looks diseased or deformed, but that's just how it is. Over the years I've been planting things around it - painted fern in front, bleeding hearts on either side - so basically I've just covered the poor thing up. It's still in there, but I don't have the aggravation of looking at it anymore.

I give them to a guy that used to be my neighbor. He has a big naturalized area on a hill behind his house, and is appreciative of anything I give him.

I put mine in a wheelbarrow at the street with a sign that reads "free hostas" and they are gone in no time.

lol - the ones I don't like? Those would be the ones that die before I get to see them mature - problem solved - lol

There's always a place to hide them, under a shrub, behind a shrub. Or do what JB said, pot them up and put them at the curb with a free sign, someone will take them :-)

I didn't say pot them up. I gave away quite a few of my original Undulatas last year and some were quite mature. It was enough work just to dig them up! I just put them in the wheelbarrow the same as they came out of the ground. Plus, I have just a few nursery pots that are of any size. They have been handy to have around this year.

I pot them up in nice sized chunks and sell them at my Garden Club sale as well as garage/ plant sales. However plants with on going leaf problems like H Brim Cup and H Lunar Eclipse get dumped as I don't want others to suffer the same frustations. And then there were the ones that I had an oversupply of that I gave to a very appreciative friend--most people who get free Hosta are very happy for the plants no matter what they are. Mary

I dig them up and put them in decorative pots with annuals for outdoor arrangements in the garden. At the end of the season they get dumped into the compost ben. If they come up next year so be it, then back in the pots for another display.

But I like Alexa's use - smart and I'm going to start using them as deer defense too.
