Hosta
Hosta Culture: Hostas prefer all shade or no more than morning sun. There are few exceptions that will take a little more sun if they are kept moist. On some varieties leaf color is enhanced with a little direct sun. Gold varieties tend to be more gold with direct sun and more chartreuse or bright green with all shade. Hostas tolerate our native heavy loam well although they will reach their greatest potential in loosened soil amended with organic matter. Moist well-drained soil is ideal although the thicker leaved varieties hold up decently to dryness or drought upon establishment.
