Planting & Growing

Shadowland0 Diamond Lake Hosta
will grow to be about 18 inches
tall at maturity extending to 28
inches tall with the flowers,
with a spread of 4 feet. When
grown in masses or used as a
bedding plant, individual plants
should be spaced approximately 3
feet 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.
