Expert Advice for Thriving Hostas in Your Garden

Plant hostas in shade or partial shade with well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during hot summer months. Fertilize with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. Divide hostas every 3-5 years to maintain their health and vigor. Watch out for slugs and snails, and use organic slug bait to control them.
