with finer foliage.

This is a relatively low
maintenance plant, and is best
cleaned up in early spring
before it resumes active growth
for the season. Gardeners should

Planting & Growing

Shadowland0 Hope Springs Eternal
Hosta will grow to be about 22
inches tall at maturity
extending to 4 feet tall with
the flowers, with a spread of 30
inches. When grown in masses or
used as a bedding plant,
individual plants should be
spaced approximately 30 inches
apart. Its foliage tends to
remain dense right to the
ground, not requiring facer
plants in front. It grows at a
slow rate, and under ideal
conditions can be expected to
live for approximately 10 years.
As an herbaceous perennial, this
plant will usually die back to
the crown each winter, and will
regrow from the base each
spring. Be careful not to
disturb the crown in late winter
when it may not be readily
seen!

This plant does best in partial
shade to shade. It prefers to
grow in average to moist
conditions, and shouldn't be
allowed to dry out. It is not
particular as to soil type or
pH. It is somewhat tolerant of
urban pollution. This particular
variety is an interspecific
hybrid. It can be propagated by
division; however, as a
cultivated variety, be aware
that it may be subject to
certain restrictions or
prohibitions on propagation.
