Be sure to get some one to help. You may not need to dig up the entire clump. Just dig around the side and cut off sections. You will want a SPARP shovel to cut the divisions.lesa said:
sure! i'll see what i can get for pics over the weekend! lots of my varieties i know their names even though i no longer have their tags (dh keeps taking the tags out with the lawn mower or weed whacker when he gets too close). i probably have over 30 varieties between my yard and my parents'! i have a couple i can divide up that are small to medium types that can tolerate sun. i find the best hostas are the ones shared with friends and family! i have 2 different types that originated from my grandparents down in MA.Stubbornhillfarm said:Southern Gardener, thank you! I think they are beautiful too. My favorite by far.
Carol and Skeeter, I think it is "Blue Mammoth" if memory serves, but you can't always go by my memory!
Chickie'sMomaInNH, boy it sounds like you have quite a collection. Would you be willing to post some pictures? I think that many people forget about Hostas. There are so many varieties and such a wide range of colors, shapes and sizes. My MIL gave me a piece a few years back off a Hosta that her mother had. It is bright green medium sized leaves and boy oh boy...the fragrance of the flower is spectacular! Have no idea what kind it is.
I look forward to seeing some pictures from anyone who would like to share! Blessings.
