Hello! I planted 2 hostas in my front garden about a month or so ago and theyâre both doing great but now theyâre both sprouting what looks like flowers? I didnât realize they did this but should I cut these off? These are baby plants and Iâm in the middle of the Midwest.
Hostas do flower quite often as long as they are happy and have the right amount of water and light, they should be fine but a lot of people cut them off because the flowers arenât the prettiest. I canât vouch for the size being okay but I donât think you need to worry too much!

I let mine flower all season. I think the flowers are lovely. Light lavendar in color and dainty. But i cut the stalks once they start to fade. Hostas are so hardy, you can leave tje flower stalks without it hurting the growth in my experience. Im also in midwest.

1 gilla Thank you all! I think Iâll let them flower and cut when they fade, I donât think we will be in this house this time next year and I want to see the flowers đ„°
2 gillningarOne of my hostas is blooming big right now. Here's what it'll look like as it opens (most are white with a slight purple tone. Some are a stronger light purple.) If you like the flowers and want to add a good purple variety, hosta "wrinkle in time" has good color
I LOVE the way that looks! How gorgeous!! Iâll have to check out the wrinkle in time! Iâve been considering adding a couple astilbe for color as well
