A quick easy tutorial on deadheading hostas to tidy up the garden this season and ensure beautiful blooms the following spring. • Hosta flowers provide nectar and pollen for our pollinators that are on the decline. Leave these lovely flowers on the plant to enjoy as they bring life to the garden - especially in shady spots. After the flowers fade, you can cut back the flower stalks so the plant doesn't focus energy on creating seeds, and instead focuses on creating a healthy plant that will keep blooming year after year. • I will never understand folks that don't like hosta flowers and cut them back before they bloom or finish blooming! I think they are lovely and so do my bumblebees who climb right in the flower to drink the nectar and collect pollen. • Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video!
