Great In Your Garden
Hostas are famous for their shade tolerance, but most of them are also fine in full sun as long as the soil is moist all the time. They are tough plants that grow on the coast and polluted urban sites.
Cultivation Instructions
Hostas like rich, well-drained but moist soil in shaded/semi-shaded position. Add compost when planting and keep well watered until established and during dry spells.
In spring, apply general purpose fertiliser and mulch well. Remove dead flower heads. Protect from slugs and snails. Divide large clumps from autumn-early spring.
