Hostas

Question

After flowers are done should stocks be cut off or let them dry up ?

Answer 1

Hostas should stay green until frost if given water in dry spells. If you have a few tattered leaves, cut those out. If you have a lot of crispy leaves, the plant is getting too much sun or you aren't watering it enough. Every plant expends a lot of energy in making blooms and needs to recharge the batteries, so to speak.
