Part shade to shade. It takes more sun than most hostas once established.

Water

Keep evenly moist, especially in the first year.

Planting and soil

Plant in spring or early fall with the crown at soil level.

Feeding

Compost or a balanced slow-release feed in spring.

Pruning

Cut flower stalks after bloom. Remove leaves after frost.

Through the year

Shoots in April. Full size by June. Flowers in July.

If something's off

Deer and slugs both love hostas. Hostas are toxic to dogs and cats if eaten.

Plays well with

Plant it with friends.
