HOSTA PLANTING & CARE

Hostas thrive in light shade but can also tolerate full sun or deep shade. With their lush foliage and low-maintenance nature, hostas are a great choice for shaded gardens!

PLANTING & CARE

Spacing: Plant 12–18 in. apart to allow for healthy growth.

Soil: Prefers moist, rich soil with added leaf mold or compost for best results.

Planting Depth: Cover the roots with 1–1.5 in. of soil.

Maintenance: Remove faded flower stalks to prevent self-seeding, as seedlings tend to be inferior.

Winter Protection: Only required in severe climates to prevent winter damage.
