Q&A - Is fall a good time to divide my hostas?
Question:
Is now a good time to divide my hostas?
Answer:
UT Extension Horticulture Specialist Carol Reese says you can divide a hosta any time of year. They are tough. Fall offers a good time to let their roots get established over the winter. Alabama A&M University Extension Specialist Rudy Pacumbaba recommends pulling them apart instead of cutting the root ball to reduce damage to the plantlets.
