Care Instructions

Hostas will grow in any fertile, moisture-retentive garden soil, but thin sands and heavy clays are best improved before planting. Best in shade or partial shade but can tolerate sun as long as the soil is moist. The leaves are more golden in less shade. Mulch generously around the plant in spring or autumn. Makes an excellent contrast with ferns at the edge of a woodland or shady border. Looks good growing in a large pot.

Plant No: 1896
