Pruning fragrant bouquet hosta — FAQ
When should I prune fragrant bouquet hosta?
Autumn after first frost for foliage cutback; deadhead scapes after flowering. Snip spent flower scapes at the base once all flowers have finished. Cut foliage back to ground level in late autumn using clean shears, and dispose of debris to discourage overwintering pests.
How often does fragrant bouquet hosta need pruning?
Annually (autumn cutback); as needed for damaged leaves during the season. Hostas need minimal pruning. Fragrant Bouquet is grown partly for its fragrant flowers, so enjoy the scapes and deadhead them once blooms finish. Cut all foliage to ground level in autumn after frost. Remove tattered or slug-damaged leaves during the season. No hard structural pruning is ever required.
