Hosta Crisis

Hostas, hydrangea and a hellebore hiding behind the hostas

Most of my landscape plants seemed to really like the cold, snowy winter we just went through. A couple of things died, but many plants did better than ever. My iris and peonies bloomed the best they have in years.

And the hostas are taking over.  Pictured is a bed along the back porch on the north wet corner.  These hostas having been living here for sometime along with a really nice hellebore and a couple of hydrangeas.  This year the hostas have taken over.

Last year I divided these guys and planted the division along the other end of the porch.  They made nice neat plants last year, but this year they are monsters.
