Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant hostas in a location with partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
- Planting:Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. Place the hosta in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground surface. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.
- Spacing:Space hostas according to their mature size, typically about 18 to 36 inches apart.
- Care:Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot, dry periods. Mulch around the base of the plant to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Divide overcrowded clumps every few years in the spring or fall to maintain plant vigor and improve air circulation.
