when is the best time to move hostas
The best time to divide and transplant hostas is in August or September, about a month before your first frost date. Fall growth spurt: When the midsummer heat eases off and rains return, hostas often have a growth spurt. Dividing during this growth spurt will help them establish new roots quickly.
Although hostas can be planted throughout the growing season, spring is generally the best time to plant. Hostas planted later when temperatures have warmed will need more water until their root systems have become established. It is more affordable to purchase hostas as dormant, bare root divisions in the spring. Plant bare root plants with the crown (the root-shoot junction) even with the surrounding soil and the growing tips visible at the soil surface.
