Planting and Application:

Use them to create sophisticated edging for your partially shaded and full shade landscaping. Grow a circlet of green and white around a specimen plant or statement piece in your shade garden to make it stand out! Hosta works wonderfully under trees and large shrubs to hide the bare stems and branches where Hosta makes perfect groundcover, embracing the shade. They grow in shady spots where your grass will not! Plus, no worry about competing roots.

Shaded spots are the perfect place for a hammock or garden bench. Perfect for shady Asian and Zen-inspired gardens, lending a cool and calming presence to areas for meditation and relaxation. In fact, any garden design looks more peaceful with a few Hostas! Tuck a series of stepping stones between a mass planting of Hadspen Blue Hosta to create a lush glen of lovely form, flowers, and foliage.

Mix these small-scale Hosta with other shade perennials like Tiarella Foam Flower, Coral Bells, and Lamium. They make an excellent contrast to the variegated Stained Glass Hosta and enormous Empress Wu Hosta. Gardeners of all levels will enjoy the designer style and easy success!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant Hosta in both full shade or partial shade with no more than four hours of sunlight a day. It's best to give morning sun and afternoon shade, when possible. Perennial Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Best in moist soil that does not dry out for long. Add a generous 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch chips to keep them cool, moist, and insulated. Wait until the leaves have been exposed to frost and have turned brown before removing all leaf litter in late fall. Divide your perennials every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.
