#ProPlantTips for Care:
Perennial Hostas are incredibly easy to grow! Growing best in partial sun though warmer climates and drier conditions where you should provide afternoon shade or full shade. In cooler growing zones and sites with regular moisture can handle more sun. Low maintenance and adaptable, Hosta isn't particular on soil type, any well-drained medium that is highly organic with regular moisture works for these easy plants.
Once frosts arrive, Hosta is an herbaceous perennial that dies back to the ground and emerges again in early spring. Be sure to remove dead leaf matter from the area to prevent the spread of fungal issues and deter slugs. Divide these perennials every 3-5 years to maintain vigor. Doing best with a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch helps the roots well to keep them cool, moist, and insulated.
