Planting & Growing

Shadowland0 Coast to Coast Hosta
will grow to be about 30 inches
tall at maturity, with a spread
of 3 feet. When grown in masses
or used as a bedding plant,
individual plants should be
spaced approximately 32 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.
