Containment methods, plant not spread #871527

Asked June 04, 2024, 12:57 PM EDT

Is there a way to keep hostas from spreading/getting larger each year such as bottomless pots or containers? Would this be okay for the plants health?

Expert Response

Hi Pam,

You can't stop them from growing. You are better off selecting varieties that are smaller or try another plant entirely. Try something new, maybe a Heuchera ?
