30% OFF HOSTAS
******************************************
Hostas are a shade loving perennial with lavender or white blooms, which are popular among hummingbirds. Hostas are late to emerge in spring and partner up well with early blooming spring bulbs that will be passing by the time the Hosta emerges. Crocus, Muscari, Eranthis or Chionodoxa foliage will easily get covered by the Hosta foliage, hiding the foliage of those early spring bulbs as they die back. There are a variety of Hostas available, differing in their leaf color, shape, size, and texture. They are easy to maintain and are shade tolerate.
Hosta leaves are very beautiful from early summer through fall!
CARE
____________
* In spring when growth
emerges apply fertilizer
* Keep plant moist
* Place mulch around
plant to retain moisture
* Remove flower stalks
after bloom to
encourage new growth
* In the fall, when frost
turns the leaves brown,
cut back to the ground
and apply a little fresh
mulch or leaf mold over
the plant, like a blanket.
DIVIDING HOSTA
____________
* Divide late in the
season because the
leaves will get damaged
during the division
process.
* Do not plant too deep
after dividing. Same
level that it was before.
* Add the ‘blanket’
leaf mold or mulch
