Hosta Hosta ◐  c

Acid tolerant. Not Deer Resistant. watering medium

Care: Cut down late fall or early spring.



Hostas are garden favorites for their interesting leaves and beautiful flowers. Many people like to collect one of

each variety. For a more soothing effect, several of one kind will look better. Blue Hostas need deep shade to

develop the characteristic waxy blue. Yellow leaved Hosta require more sunlight to stay yellow. When mixing

varieties of Hosta attention should be given to final size. Sizes range from the miniatures at 10cm (4inch) to the

extra large at over 100cm (40inch). Hostas prefer alkaline soil and will benefit from a handful of dolometic lime

in the spring, especially if they are being grown under evergreens. This has the added benefit of deterring slugs,

which can be a problem. Other slug repellants include; Safers slug bait (an organic product which will not harm

birds or pets), copper (try pennies or wire), pine needles, amonia mixed in a 10% solution sprayed in the

evenings and yeast mixed with water and sugar left as bait. Hostas are relatively drought tolerant, however they

should be watered regularly the first year or two after planting. Many Hostas take 5 to 7 years to reach mature

size. (hoty means Hosta of the year)
