Where to plant:

Generally, hostas prefer to be out of direct sunlight. Most will tolerate the morning sun but need shade during the hottest part of the day. They are often planted beneath trees but don’t like competition from shallow-rooted trees.

How to plant:

Dig a wide planting hole, as hosta roots can grow to one foot deep and two feet wide. Untangle the plant’s roots and rest them atop a mound of soil created in the center of the hole. Backfill and water thoroughly. Bare root plants should be soaked for several hours before planting to rehydrate the roots.

Soil:

Hostas grow best in good loamy soil that is enriched with organic matter, such as compost.

Watering:

Keep consistently moist. Add mulch to help reduce fluctuations & avoid dry conditions. Water deeply to encourage the roots to grow further down into the soil. Those exposed to more sun will require more water.
