Top Tips
Witness the best colour by planting in a position that basks in full sun for at least half of the day during summer.
Care Information
- Before planting, incorporate plenty of organic matter into the soil. This Hosta prefers a rich, moisture retentive soil.
- Knock the plant out from its container. Look at the roots – if they are circling around the compost, it is best to tease them out. To do this, push your fingers into the root ball along the bottom edge and pull. Do this in a couple of places. This should encourage the roots to spread out into the surrounding soil once in the ground.
- Use a trowel or spade to create a hole just deep and wide enough to set in the rootball. Aim to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems (when in growth in summer) or the shoots (in spring) above ground.
- Firm back around the soil using your hand for small clumps, or your heel on larger areas.
- Keep plants well-watered and mulched with well-rotted organic matter.
- This Hosta can be grown in most types of container, using a good, multi-purpose compost. Ensure they are kept well-watered. If growing in pots, be sure to feed monthly with a general-purpose liquid feed.
- Protect from slugs and snails.
- If you find that your Hosta is suffering from scorched leaves, move it to a position with more shelter and shade.
