How to prune tokudama flavocircinalis hosta

Late autumn after hard frost kills foliage; deadhead scapes after mid-summer bloom. Snip spent flower scapes at soil level. In late autumn, cut all foliage to ground level and clear the crown of debris. Tokudama cultivars are slow growers, so take care not to damage emerging crowns in spring.

Once annually (autumn cutback); optional summer deadheading. Tokudama Flavocircinalis Hosta needs minimal pruning. This slow-growing, heavily textured blue-green and yellow cultivar rarely needs anything beyond removing spent flower scapes after mid-summer bloom and cutting all foliage to the ground in late autumn after hard frost. Remove any damaged leaves cleanly at the petiole base during the growing season.
