Plant Information

Plant Care

Elegans Hosta thrives with consistent moisture and regular feeding during the growing season. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring when shoots emerge and again in early summer. Remove spent flower stalks to maintain appearance and prevent self-seeding. Watch for slugs and snails, particularly in spring when new growth emerges. Winter protection isnt necessary as this variety is extremely hardy.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 90-120 cm apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and as deep. Position the crown at soil level and backfill with rich, organic soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Hostas prefer locations protected from strong winds to prevent leaf damage.
