#ProPlantTips for Care:

This low-care herbaceous Perennial is ideal for shady positions. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth. The morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but the hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to Hostas. 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.
