#ProPlantTips for Care:

Also known as Plantian Lily, Tropical Dancer is an herbaceous perennial that has an amazing assortment of colors in each leaf that intensifies in bright light, and while Hosta can be fairly sun tolerant in cooler growing zones, they should be given dappled shade, afternoon shade, or full shade in hotter climates. When watering, make sure to lift up the leaves and water the soil directly underneath. Its large leaves can sometimes act like a bit of an umbrella and keep the roots from getting water. Perennial Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. A generous layer of arborist mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill. Wait until the leaves have been exposed to frost and have turned brown before removing all leaf litter in late fall.
