#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant Paul's Glory in an area that receives the right amount of light. The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration. Too much sun will burn the leaves. Paul's Glory is at home in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5 with regular moisture access.

It is best to keep areas around Hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails. Low maintenance and easy care, there's not much work for you! Once frosts arrive, Hosta is an herbaceous perennial that dies back to the ground and emerges again in early spring. A generous 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch chips helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill. Be sure to remove dead leaf matter from the area to prevent the spread of fungal issues and deter slugs. But it has excellent slug resistance and no disease issues! Divide your perennials every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.

• Tolerates Part Shade to Full Shade
• Moderate to Moisture Loving Plant
• Excellent Slug & Snail Resistance
• Very Cold, Heat & Humidity Tolerant
• Prune In Late Fall
