	Bob's Hosta Growing Tips
		Hostas are completely dormant during the winter, and they will not produce new roots until after they have made new foliage in the spring.
		Late planted hostas may rot over the winter if 1) the ground is frozen and stays frozen shortly after they are planted, 2) they are very dry when the ground freezes, 3) the soil stays too wet because of poor winter drainage or 4) heaving occurs during cycles of the soil freezing and thawing.
		Hostas overwinter much better in the ground than they do in pots and if they are not in quite the right spot when they come up next spring, they can be easily moved.

	Presence of Offsets Reduces Hosta's Response to Benzyladenine
		The objective of this study was to determined effects of number of initial offsets on response of blue hosta to a range of BA rates.
		Uniform plants of blue hosta were selected for uniformity and divided into three groups based on the number of offsets present: those with no offsets, those with one emerged offset, and those with two or three emerged offsets.
		One possible explanation for the observed response in hosta is that plants with two or three initial offsets produced more auxin than those with zero or one offset, thus apical dominance was stronger and BA was less effective in promoting outgrowth of additional axillary or rhizomic buds.
