no, it wouldn't make a difference. Hostas need a year or two to really look their best. Last year I got a small one from the supermarket for a couple dollars. It was a dinky, scrawny little thing, maybe 5 leaves, but I liked the leaf pattern. Well, this year, it's an entirely different plant. It is glorious and I hardly recognize from last year. I left the flower spike to bloom.

Keep it moist, weed free, and space to reach its full potential. I just googled your Hosta and that's the one I've been talking about. That's mine! I just posted a picture of it in the main photo gallery if you want to see it. It never had a name tag but thanks for naming it. It puts out really nice trumpet shaped flowers. I would leave it.

just dead head it after it has flowered so it doesn't try to make seed which will take energy from the new leaf growth.

Thank you both, I shall just have to be patient.

In three years, you can divide it and have two or more.
