No other perennial comes close to the level of beauty, hardiness, diversity and ease of culture than that of the genus Hosta. They are very long lived and can surpass the lifespan of the person planting them.
Hosta thrive in a well drained soil that is rich in organic material. Well composted organic matter should be added to the planting soil and applied in the Spring as a annual topdressing to maximize growth. They like a moist but not soggy soil. They need to breathe so allowing the surface of the soil to dry between waterings is important. They grow best if given some direct sunlight, morning sun being the best. The further north they are grown, the more direct sun they can be given.
Hosta are best divided in early spring, but look best if undisturbed. They improve in color, size and leaf structure the older they get. Clumps that are decades old are magnificent!
