Default How to "Take Out" Hosta


Midwest US.

What to do with a plot of hosta at end of season?

We get frost next week. If I leave 'em, they'll turn to mush?

Cut 'em off at ground level now?

Thx,
P

Hosta die back and come back. Voles -Moles may vary your mileage. If
you have a plant that you want perhaps a small wire fence protection
aka work is in order. I do some but let most deal with the habitat.
