A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Help! Lily of the Valley taking over!

move the hostas

Oooo, I don't know what to tell you.....lily of the Valley are VERY invasive. I have them planted in a spot where they can spread without much worry, but they can absolutely choke out other plants.

The only thing I think you could do is dig them all out, or like suzydaze suggested---move the Hosta's.

Welcome to the forum.

I love them and have a place for them. But I'm to far away to come play in the dirt with you. Good luck with them.

Sometimes as bad as what it sounds...you have to completely take everything out of the bed. Remove the unwanted plants and replant your wanted plants.

I'm dealing with Goutweed...I feel your pain.
