Like Ann said, easy as pie! We've done it spring, fall and even the middle of summer. Hosta are amazingly hardy and don't seem to mind as long as they get watered and the bunnies don't eat them down to the ground.

I cut back my sedum back by half about the middle of July, when they were starting to get very tall. This forces side growth, which helps to support the plant and stop it from that collapse in the middle later in the season. I'll go take a pic in a minute. I was really afraid to do it, but I could see the logic in it and they looked awful for about two weeks with that flat top, but as you can see, they must have appreciated the hair cut, they are dense and starting to bloom.

Gotta run....duty calls. Later, all! ~~~~~
