Know before you buy
These plants prefer dappled to full shade. While they are adaptable, they perform best when protected from the harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch their foliage.
Plant your bareroots as soon as possible after they arrive. Ensure the soil is well-drained and place the crown of the plant just below the soil surface, watering thoroughly to help them establish.
This is a curated mix, so the specific varieties are chosen to provide a diverse range of colors and textures. Because it is a blend, you will receive a surprise assortment of leaf shapes and colors rather than a single, identified cultivar.
Since these Hostas reach a mature width of 3 feet, you should space them at least 3 feet apart if you want each plant to have room to grow to its full potential. For a denser, massed ground cover look, you can plant them slightly closer together.
Yes, once established, these Hostas are very easy-going. They are long-lived perennials that require minimal attention beyond regular watering during dry spells and clearing away dead foliage in the late fall or early spring.
Absolutely. Hostas are excellent in containers, provided the pot has good drainage. Ensure the container is large enough to accommodate their mature size and keep an eye on soil moisture, as pots dry out faster than garden beds.
