Dividing a White Flower Farm Grandprize Hosta

This Grandprize hosta from White Flower Farm sucked me in with its pretty lavender flowers, despite the fact that we have lots of deer on the property (I use a spray repellent). Of course, the other thing I liked about it was that it had plenty of offshoots so I was able to divide it into eight smaller and three larger plants.
These are the divisions four days after they were split. Kept in the shade and well-watered they all look to be doing fine. I had to cut off the flower stalks, so the plants would concentrate on root growth, but I'll be able to enjoy the flowers next year.
