Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant Hostas in a location with partial to full shade. They prefer well-drained soil with good organic content.
- Planting:Dig a hole that’s slightly wider but no deeper than the root ball. Place the Hosta in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
- Spacing:Space Hostas according to their mature size, typically about 1 to 3 feet apart.
- Care:Water newly planted Hostas regularly until established. Once established, they require consistent moisture, especially during hot, dry periods. Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Divide overcrowded clumps every few years in early spring or fall to maintain vigor.
