Know before you buy
This collection includes nine Hosta roots in total, featuring three distinct varieties to provide a mix of colors and textures in your garden.
These plants thrive in partial to full shade or areas with filtered light. They are specifically selected to perform well in spots where direct, harsh sunlight is limited.
For optimal growth and air circulation, we recommend spacing the roots 20 to 24 inches apart. Keep in mind that these mature plants can spread between 26 and 72 inches wide.
Plant the roots so that the crown—the point where the roots meet the stems—is positioned about 1/2 inch below the soil line.
Yes, these are hardy perennials. Once established, they will go dormant in the winter and return with new foliage each spring in planting zones 3 through 9.
Hostas are generally low-maintenance plants. They require moderate watering to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during their first growing season, but they do not need complex care.
