Our summer -- hot and very dry -- has been hard on most of our hostas, but the young Fire and Ice are doing well.

They sold this variety at our local Wal-Mart this year. I have several and they are a stand out. I love the Fire and Ice. They sold this variety at our local Wal-Mart this year.

There seems to be some difference of opinion as to what time of year is best for dividing... but many people think it is easier to do in the spring... although others think it is easier on the hosta if they are divided in the fall. I have to admit I like to let the hostas grow until they reach a huge size, so if it were me, I would let your Fire and Ice hosta keep growing. If you do decide to divide the hosta, it will need some time to look as good as it did before, especially if you have to do much cutting.

I have got one that is 2 years old, can I split it without spoiling its size for this year? I have split other hostas year on year but I am a bit reluctant to do this one as it is my favorite. Many thanks We are finding it difficult to buy the fire and ice hostas here. I have got one that is 2 years old, can I split it without spoiling its size for this year?
