Top 5 Reasons You Should Cut Down Hostas

Top 5 Reasons You Should Cut Down Hostas This Fall

1. Cleaner Landscape – As the leaves are frosted, they yellow and become wilted.
2. Reduce Slugs – Cutting back removes slug eggs that may over winter.
3. Compost Greens – At a time of year when greens are scarce, help heat up the compost.
4. Determine if Need Dividing – once outside leaves are removed, its easy to see center die-out, a sure sign of needing dividing.
5. Ready for Spring – in the spring your garden is clean and ready to go (at least the hostas)
