Blooming Hostas

by Carol S

Recently, I noticed a friend cuttlng all the flower stems from her Hosta. When I asked why? She told the look messy and it helps the plant grow larger. I went home & noticed some of most of the flower laden stems were down on the walk way & grass. Here are two things I did to deal with the problem. Let me know what you think.

Pete's Yard has 5 huge Hostas and I brought more with me when I moved. I love the flowers but someplace they are just in the way.

Here I simply tied them to a stake. Bees frequent the flower that were on the walk way & Pete is Alergic to bee stings.

Then I cut some and put them in a vase in my room -- so plentiful & lovely.

I only cut the blooms when they die. The hummingbirds love them! I have to get an Aphrodite!

  @Phyllis These where only from one plant - plenty left for hummers - though we haven't seen any in two years - Butterflies are not showing up either - Maybe next year.
