Barry’s Beat he weather could not have been more pleasant for
our August meeting at the garden of Roger and
Connie Kahler's in Morton. Connie is not a
member of CIHS, but she certainly has put together a
beautiful garden with many varieties of Hosta. She lost
some treasured plants this summer to the Japanese
Beetles. I observed members lingering for a long time
after the meeting to discuss her many varieties of plant
materials and to enjoy her garden.
Ella Maxwell provided an educational program that was
quite informative. Ella brought examples of hostas
infected with foliar nematodes, and discussed various
methods to control or eliminate nematodes in the
garden. She noted that the Strawberry Foliar Nematodes
Aphelenchoides fragariae use a vast variety of plants as
hosts, not just exclusively Hostas. Ella also brought
examples of leaves that suffered from desiccation, due
to too much sun and too little water. Additionally,
examples of leaves with crown rot, a fungal disease,
were shown, and treatment approaches for crown rot
were discussed. Many questions from the members
ensued, resulting in a great educational experience for
all involved. Thank you, Ella!
Bob Streitmatter asked for volunteers to fill the several
openings on the CIHS Board (see pages 6-7 for slate).
We still need someone to fill the position of 1st Vice
President, Garden Walk Chair, and the Hospitality chair.
Please call or see Bob if you are interested in helping
with one of these positions. The board is a fun group of
people whose mission is to make the experience of
CIHS membership an educational and fun experience
for our members. You do get a free Hosta each year for
serving on the Board.
As summer winds down and our plants are not looking
quite as good as they did in May, we can relax a little,
maybe weed a little less, and not stress about the amount
of rainfall that we receive each week. We do, however need
to remember that our gardens will benefit from some
moisture going into dormancy later this fall. So, if we do
not receive fall rain, remember to supplement with watering
to ensure that those dormant buds are healthy and happy
going into the winter months.
I am looking forward to our annual Fall Banquet on
September 19th at the Pekin Country Club. Susan McCabe
and Deb Schoedel have put together plans for another great
event. Shane Cultra from Country Arbors in Urbana will
be our guest speaker. Shane will also be bringing along
shade companion plants for sale. Those in attendance will
receive a voucher for either a free hosta plant donated by
White Oak Nursery (Hosta ‘Love Me Tender’) or good for
a $5.00 discount toward a purchase from Shane’s plants
from Country Arbors. The food promises to be tasty, the
speaker entertaining, and the companionship of friends
rewarding. I hope to see you there!
At your service,
Barry Ankney CIHS President

t may seem early, but now is the time to start
thinking about next year’s plant sale. The fall is the
perfect time to divide your hosta. At this time of
year it is easy to see the ones that have gotten too large
for their space.
If you have space in your vegetable garden or an area
where you can put them in the ground, dig your
overgrown hosta, take some divisions and plant them
together. This way they will establish roots in the fall
and adjust over the winter. In the spring you can dig the
whole plants and pot them separately. This method
reduces the plants’ stress of being dug and divided. It
also cuts down on your stress of digging and dividing
in the spring when there are many other things going
on and garden chores to do. The fall planted clumps
also look better when potted in the spring than those
that are freshly-dug and divided.
If you have a nursery area, this a great way to divide
your plants and get them ready for planting in your
garden or the plant sale. You can even leave them in the
nursery area for a couple years. The soil in the nursery
bed should be amend with compost and mine pine bark
nuggets if possible. This makes the soil loose and
easier to dig the plants.

Now is the Time to
Divide Hosta…for Next Year…

_________________________________________
arly September is a good time to divide hosta.
As Dave Crocker mentions in the previous
article. Spring is a busy time for gardeners.
Many people like to divide in the spring because it’s
easier to see the individual divisions, as there are no
leaves unfurled yet. Dividing them disturbs the plant
roots but they have time to become re-established
before going dormant in the fall.
If your fall hosta division results in leaves breaking off
as they are more brittle now, just cut them off, replant
the divisions and keep them watered very well. In a few
weeks, new leaves will appear. No fertilizer is
recommended in late summer, as you don’t want the
plants to be in active growth too late into the fall.
Tom Micheletti, of the Hosta Patch in Northern Illinois,
digs the whole clump, washes as much of the soil off
the roots as possible with a sharp spray from the hose,
and then tries to tease the divisions apart. “I look for
natural division points with more space between the
crowns. Some plants will cooperate and easily pull
apart, but there are always those stubborn plants that
are too dense. I will work the roots, teasing them and
pulling them apart as much as possible. How many
crowns you leave per division depends on how many
plants you want. There is always a plant that doesn’t
want to break apart. I will then cut through the top of
the crown with a sharp knife to break the bond between
the crowns. I try not to cut too many roots, only the
crown. Once the crown is cut, it is usually easier to
tease the roots apart. Very important! The knife should
be disinfected with bleach or alcohol between cuts.
This will prevent the spread of undesirable pathogens.
“This is probably enough activity to keep you busy
until the hosta go dormant. So go out into the garden
and enjoy the hostas before they are gone for winter!”

Illinois Hosta Society
_________________________________________
As we transition into the fall season there's much to be
done in the garden.
Fall is for Planting Many folks might conclude that hostas can only be
planted in the spring because they seem to "disappear" in
local nurseries and garden centers by the first of June. Fact
is, container grown hostas can be planted any time during
the growing season. What's more, by planting now you
can gain nearly a full growing season as compared to
waiting until next spring. This will be readily apparent
next spring as you will most likely have multiple eyes or
pips emerge as a result of planting now. Remember we
maintain our hosta stock year round and still have
thousands to choose from.
Dividing Hostas Fall is considered the "optimum" time for hosta division
as roots can continue to grow and establish themselves
until our first killing frost (which averages October 26th
in Kansas City). Remember hostas never need to be
divided as opposed to most perennials that will become
less vigorous after 3-5 years if not divided. With hostas
it's a choice you make.
To divide hostas it is usually easiest to dig and lift the
entire clump. Then use a spade or knife to divide into
smaller sections. The key is to retain an adequate root
structure for each division. If needed, use a hose to wash
away the soil to get a closer look at where you should be
making your divisions. When replanting, use a root
starter/stimulator solution, but avoid any high nitrogen
fertilizer this late in the season.
Don't forget the value of good soil prep. Since hostas
never need to be divided, you really only get one chance
to do a good job of preparing the soil with plenty of
organic matter. Never plant that $5 hosta in a 50 cent hole.
Even worse is planting a $20 hosta in that same 50 cent
hole!!!
Planting Hosta Seeds
Chances are you have at least a few hosta bloom scapes
that set seed. The seed pod will crack open in due time
indicating the seed has matured. The seed is generally
viable if it’s turned black.
Hostas do not obey the normal rules of genetics. You
might think that if a variegated hosta is crossed with
another variegated hosta then the offspring would be, for
the most part, variegated. However this is not true, or at
the least it is very, very rare. Hybridizers use "streaked"
hostas as the pod parent for developing new variegated
cultivars. These streaked breeding plants are somewhat
unstable and command a relatively high market price.
But with all that said, you can still have some fun by
germinating your own hosta seeds. Continued on page 5

Tips
Tips for Dividing Hosta
in the Fall

Just realize that they will likely be a solid color even if
originating from a variegated parent. Here are a few tips
for starting seed which can be a great winter time activity.
The timing on starting seed is a variable with some folks
starting in October or November while others wait until
February.
Start the seeds in flats with a clear plastic dome (or similar
high humidity setup). Wash the flats and use a sterile
soilless mix to minimize any potential fungal problems.
Cover the seed lightly to a 1/8" to 1/4" depth. Germination
typically occurs in 12 to 15 days. Target an air
temperature of about 75 degrees F. Heating mats can be
useful when working in cooler basement settings.
Lighting is critical when gardening indoors (although not
relevant to the actual seed germination process in this
case). Use supplemental lighting (cool-white fluorescent
tubes) to give 16-24 hours of daily lighting following
germination. Maintain the lights about 2" above the dome,
or 2" above the plants once the dome has been removed.
Never let the seedlings dry out. Keep the soil moist but
not soggy. Grow until the tops of the plants touch the
dome. Then transplant (typically at the 2 or 3 leaf stage)
and begin using a water soluble fertilizer. How much
water soluble fertilizer you use will depend on how much
you want to "push" the growth process.
Before moving seedlings to the spring garden, don't forget
to harden them off - just like a tomato plant that was
started inside.

othing signifies spring more than colorful bulbs
emerging from a barren land-scape that not too
long ago was covered with snow. However, it's
hard to think of spring when we haven't even treated the
kids at Halloween. If you want a display of spring flowers,
though, now is the time to plant bulbs.
The old standbys, daffodils and tulips, will certainly make
a fine display in your garden, but I encourage you to think
outside the box and try a few of my favorites. Many of
these "minor" bulbs bloom in early spring and then take a
9 month nap before emerging again the following spring.
Soon after bloom, the plant releases seed and the foliage
dies down to the ground. These "Jack-in-the-box" plants
have their time of notoriety and then conveniently fade
away for your hostas and other plants to use the same
space for a summer of enjoyment.
Two of these ephemeral bulbs are Glory-of-the-Snow
(Chionodoxa) and Striped Squill (Puschkinia.) Both make
great ground covers with a maximum height of 6 to 8
inches and have dainty blue and white striped flowers.
They will gradually spread to form a spring floral carpet,
but not so aggressively that they become weedy. In fact,
the more they spread, the better. Your initial planting
should consist of 100 or more bulbs for best effect. Then
wait for more to come in succeeding years as they spread
on their own and form colonies. Don't confuse these two
with Siberian Squill (Scilla siberica), also a small, blue-
flowered bulb, which can aggressively take over your yard
in a short period of time. It, too, will die back, but the
courser textured foliage conflicts with other emerging
plants and is a major nuisance.
There are many species and varieties of ornamental onion
(Allium) and they come in a host of sizes and colors. Some
are small and bloom early, while others are up to 4 feet tall and bloom in early summer. One that I have in my
rock garden, Allium senescens glaucum, blooms in the
fall. All are very pest, rabbit, and deer resistant and mix
well with your other perennials or bulbs. A planting of
giant allium (Allium giganteum) with its 6 inch diameter
balls of flowers will make quite a statement in your
garden!
A good transition bulb between early spring bloomers and
summer perennials is Spanish bluebell, also known as
wood hyacinth (Hyacinthoides hispanica.) While most
bulbs should be planted in full sun during their bloom
time, this one will tolerate sun, part shade, or even shade.
As the common names imply, the species has blue flowers
and makes an excellent group planting in a woodland
garden. Expect it to gradually spread on a moist, well-
drained site.
Another great bulb for the shade garden is the Martagon
lily (Lilium martagon). The plant stands upright to a
height of 4 feet and then rains down flowers for several
weeks in early June. Visitors to your garden will ask you
about this beauty! The first spring I had this bulb in my
yard, its display was underwhelming, but each spring
since my clumps have been getting bigger and bigger. It
is one of my favorite companions in my hosta beds.
I like to try different plants to evaluate their performance
and two years ago I planted a new one to me, Triteleia
laxa 'Rudy' (Angel Flower). This spring it sent up 18"
stems that branched out into a spray of blue and white
striped flowers. I planted the bulbs among our collection
of coral bells (Heuchera) and the combination was
stunning. As the coral bells got bigger through the
summer, the foliage of Angel flower died back leaving
plenty of room for the Heuchera foliage. No doubt it will
also make a great addition to a hosta garden.
Bulbs can be planted until the ground freezes. There is still
time for you to activate your trowel or bulb planter and
get some in the ground. Every yard, no matter how large
or small, has room for a few, or a few hundred, bulbs. Next
spring you'll be glad you did.
