I'd recommend dividing the plant rather than cuttings.

divide them, a little late but i have just done one of mine as it was so crowded i got four out of it (it was getting a bit pot bound). dig it out and divide with a sharp knife then replant and water well. they may look a bit sorry for themselves for a while but will perk up :-)

glad that you asked this question Zoostrel, as I have spotted a hosta in my daughter's new garden that would fit in well in my own, now I know what to do!

Thanks for the help moongrowe and gerberavicki,i will do this at the weekend,cheerz.
