Hosta flowers

Some hosta flowers distract from the beauty of the hosta plant.  This hosta has beautiful foliage and a not so pretty flower.   And sometimes they distract from othe plants in the garden - for example, if you look at the posting of the astilbe - can you imagine them surrounded by the spikes of hosta flowers? 

Don't be afraid to cut out your hosta flowers - it won't hurt the plant and it can make your garden look better.
