Thanks everyone for the quick responses!!!

Guess I will make sure they get some more water. I am use to the non-cold hardy ones I had. I would cut em down to 1 or 2 ft, dig em up for the winter, then would replant and they would grow like crazy.

The hostas get big every year. 1 minute they are small and a week later they are huge.

Do the lighter yellow leave plants look like a different species??? They have survived 2 winters so far and originally started with just 1.

I want them to get big and have a plan for this coming winter. Instead of cutting them down to the ground and burring with mulch, I am going to try and leave them a foot or 2 tall. Then stuff a trash bag full of leaves, cut a small hole in bottom of bag and put over top of the shortened stalk.

That sound ok, or anyone else have other ideas?? I figured this way they would grow taller being a foot or 2 already in the spring vs growing from the ground.

A guy near me had one that was prob 15-20 feet tall. He would dig it up every year and stick in his screened in porch. This year it didnt make it though. It was pretty impressive how big it was.

Thanks
