I live in zone 5 and have divided hostas in both the spring and the fall. If you're doing it in the spring, do it when there's not much chance of frost. In the fall, make sure you check the first frost date for your area and allow at least 4 to 6 weeks for the roots to settle in. Either way works for me.

Although extrmely hardy hostas should be propagated in early spring so that they have a chance to develop a good root system for the coming winter.

The BEST time is when they are still small shoots in early spring. But Hostas are pretty hard to kill, so they will survive anytime, as long as they have time to re-establish firm roots before a hard frost. Good luck!

In the summer when they are in fullness. At this time they are healthy and vigorous and have a good root system established. If you do it to early in the spring, their root system is still too fragile from the winter and if you do it too late they will not have enough time to get established and will die over the winter. When you do this make sure you give them a well watered area to be in and give them fertilizer.

Wayne's Angel nailed it according to my authority. "Propagate hostas by division in early spring and guard against snails and slugs."

you're able to try this now basically wait till at last the solar has set dig up the hosta save the roots moist as you decrease it aside use a pointy knife confirm to leave roots on each bit now you will lose some yet dont difficulty you may wait till at last right here day to plant as long as you maintain them out of the solar and save them moist whilst the solar has set dig the holes fill them with water enable the water bypass down then plant the hosta then upload some liquid fertilizer I actual have labored in distinctive hostas right here in tennessee i did artwork at a place the place we broke them up and repotted them good success

I usually do mine in the summer. They were so easy too! I just stuck them in the ground and they grew. I don't have a green thumb, so I was quite pleased. (-:
