7. Check for Crown Rot and Frost Damage
Spring is when rot and freeze damage reveal themselves. Soft crowns or mushy leaves are red flags. Cut off any damaged tissue and consider applying a fungicide if you’ve had problems before.
8. Space Out for Airflow
It’s tempting to cram them in, but poor airflow = fungal diseases. When planting or re-spacing, aim for 18-36 inches between clumps, depending on the variety.
9. Re-edge Your Beds
Clean edges not only look great, they also keep turf grass from creeping in and competing for nutrients. Spring is the perfect time to redefine your borders.
10. Plan Pest Control Ahead
Hostas can attract deer, rabbits, and even voles. Install deterrents early—sprays, fencing, or companion planting—before pests establish patterns.
Final Thought:
Hostas are resilient, but they reward the gardener who starts strong in spring. A little early attention sets the stage for big, beautiful leaves and a stress-free summer. Miss these spring jobs, and you might be playing catch-up all season.
