Moreover, how long does it take for hosta bulbs to come up? four to 10 weeks Also, what do hostas look like coming up? The eyes might be green or purple, or even white if they have been covered by mulch or leaves. Each fall hostas die completely down to the ground and yet each spring they come back bigger and with more eyes and leaves than they had the year before. Hostas are truly amazing plants. Hereof, will my hosta come back? Many hostas at this time of year begin to actively grow again after their summer heat dormancy. Thus, hostas divided in late summer will make new roots quickly. Many fast growing hostas will make all new foliage before frost and hold it well into fall. Some may even bloom again.When should you fertilize hostas? Fertilizing Established Hostas Apply fertilizer once at the beginning of the spring and again at the start of summer. Do not apply fertilizer after mid-July or August. Applying fertilizer late in the year encourages the hosta to produce tender new growth, which may then be damaged by frost.
