Why Are My Hostas Turning Yellow

Should I cut off yellow hosta leaves?

Hostas require minimal maintenance, although some light pruning keeps the plant productive, while improving the hosta’s health and encouraging lush foliage. Cut off any yellow, dead or damaged leaves with shears. … Prune back all the dead foliage to the base of the plant after it yellows and dies back naturally in fall.
