Question by Brokn: My hostas didn’t flower this year, what can I do to insure flowers next year?
The leaves look perfectly healthy and the plants filled out beautifully but no flower spikes and all the others in my neighbors yards are flowering nicely. They are planted on the south side of my house along a fence so they are mostly shaded but some dappled sunlight. A few are in more sun but they didn’t flower either.

Water the plant individually and then separate the leaves with your hands until you find the base of the clover and pull it out. The water loosens the soil so the weeds are easier to pull out.

Answer by Woodie.
Don’t worry about cutting back the hostas-they’ll die back naturally over the next few weeks.Being perennials
growth will restart next spring and the cycle continue.
