Hi again
Now that spring has arrived I'm looking to split / move a large hosta
and I can't find your email regarding the best way to do this..it will
be going to a a dampish corner of my front garden which does not
receive an awful lot of light. I think that I need to do it soon
before the new shoots arrive ?


Dig it up, look for 'natural' divisions in its roots and split it into bits
using your hands or a sharp spade or a knife, if need be. And yes, late
winter is a good time to do it, if your local weather lets you out of the
door!
