Spread a layer of mulch or organic matter in early spring to help retain moisture and encourage hosta flowers.

You can divide hostas in late winter or early spring when they outgrow their planting site.

A great shrub for shady locations. Planted under my oak trees and fits perfectly. Took a whole year for them to establish and start growing but now the hostas are looking gorgeous!
