Where it shines

This easy-care hosta works beautifully as an edging plant, ground cover, mass planting, or woodland-garden accent. Its petite form also makes it a natural choice for containers and the front of a shade border.

Care

Plant in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Dappled light or morning sun helps support healthy growth, but protect the plant from hot afternoon sun. Water regularly to maintain average, even moisture. Watch for slug damage, especially where mulch provides hiding places.

Some soil may be removed from the pot for shipping.
