#ProPlantTips for Care:

Also known as Plantain Lily, this herbaceous Perennial is ideal for shady positions, filtered or dappled sunlight, morning sun, or afternoon shade, for clean, healthy growth and intensify the leaf colors. Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. Add a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch to 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.
