Hostas are incredibly popular perennials, and for good reason. Their versatility in the landscape is unmatched. The subtle colors and broad leaves fill a unique niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve. Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage and surprisingly, they thrive even in city environments, tolerating air pollution. This makes the live hosta plant a perfect choice for urban gardens seeking a touch of natural elegance.

Benefits of Planting this Perennial Hosta

• Adds significant visual interest with unique, contrasting foliage
• Provides effective coverage for dying bulb foliage, maintaining garden aesthetics
• Tolerates shady conditions, making it ideal for low-light areas
• Easy to propagate, allowing for garden expansion
• Attracts beneficial pollinators to your outdoor space

For optimal growth, this live hosta plant prefers moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is generally better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth. Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun can be detrimental. These plants are most at home in shady, woodland settings and often work well as specimen or edging plants, enhancing garden borders and focal points.

Propagation is easy through division, which can be done at any time during the growing season with little to no affect on the growth of the parent plant. Since each division should have at least 3 eyes, plants should be allowed to mature for several years before being divided. Mulch with finely shredded organic material, especially in northern zones, to prevent heaving in the winter. Watch for slugs and apply bait in early spring. Clean all hosta foliage out of the garden in early winter after the plants have gone dormant to rid the area of slug and insect eggs, ensuring a healthy start for the next season.
