hostas and their blooms

Question

How do I get my hostas to bloom? They did the first year they were planted but haven’t the last couple of years?

Answer 1

Not everyone appreciates the flowers of a Hosta, I too, am a fan of the flowers that appear!

Don't over fertilize your plants. Too much nitrogen can inhibit the flowers.

You can try a application of phosphorous to boost flowering. Bone Meal is a good way to do this.
