Comments (4)Hi JB, Most hostas are hardy to zone 3, so yours should be just fine outside in the ground without being mulched, but they will be one of the very last things to come up in spring, so donÂt start worrying that they didnÂt make it when everything else starts to grow againÂjust sit back and wait for them. TheyÂll also be one of the first things to freeze, just as a warning! If you just put them in this spring/summer, with a couple years to grow and develop they should be just beautiful. If youÂve been trying them for several years and not having any luck, if theyÂre being planted in heavy clay, next time you plant some, add a substantial amount of organic matter (good quality compost or moist Canadian peat) to the soil in the area where youÂre planting them. That will help hold moisture and nutrients, and hostas usually appreciate a lighter soil. Skybird P.S. Kath, that looks like the sunny side of the house! Are yours doing that well in the sun? They look great!...See MoreMy Hostas are Burnin'up...Global Warming or what?
Comments (0)So, I know that us gardeners can become a little obsessed with things...so bare with me. This season, even before the heat wave of the past few weeks, my Hostas have been getting sunburned like never before. I've had them in the same place for the last 3 year and they've been fine. I've got at least 5 that I've had to move for fear of losing them. Now, I'd expect this after the heat wave we've been having, but this all started before that hit. I haven't fertilized, no trees have been cut in the area, watering practices have stayed the same, it's definitely burn vs over watering. Has anyone else noticed if the sun might be stronger this year? Or am I just crazy. Please let me know if there is something that might make them susceptible to burn that I might be missing. Thanks so much, Sharron...See Morelindalana 5b Chicago
