hostas

Question

Many of my hostas Krossa Regal, Sum and Substance and others (are not as tall as they were last year. We have had a cold spring (zone 5B WNY). Does a cold spring, lack of sun, soil moisture, etc. effect the height of the plant? Why actually does. Hostas look healthy.

Answer 1

Yes, to all of the reasons you list. I'm also in a cold zone 4b and we are so far behind. Some of my Hosta have just barely broken ground. Provide ample moisture and give them time!
