[header] How to grow hostas [title] Aim to plant in spring or fall. [step] Perennial plants will thrive best when they're planted in early spring and early fall. It is possible to plant hostas in the middle of summer, but the plants are actively growing in spring and fall, meaning they'll take root better at these times. 
[substeps] In spring, you can plant the hostas as soon as the ground can be worked. In fall, plant at least six weeks before the first expected frost.
