#ProPlantTips for Care:

Preferring part shade/sun and full shade, plant Maui Buttercups in an area that receives morning sun to bring out the best coloration but appreciate afternoon sun. These herbaceous Perennials grow best in enriched, moist well-drained soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Add a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch over the soil surface, especially in dry shade conditions. Deadhead Hostas as soon as the flowers fade for a tidy look, and in fall when these herbaceous Perennials die back from the cold, it's time to prune the mound clean and remove the dead foliage. Divide your Hosta every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.
