Halcyon Hosta Care
Hosta x Tardiana Halcyon grows best across the United States in USDA growing zones 3-8. It will perform best in partial shade to full shade but can tolerate partial sun in the mornings when temperatures are still low.
Hosta plants can adapt to a variety of soil types but well-draining & moist soil is best to keep them looking up to par. Consistent watering at the base of the plant will keep their leaves lush and full throughout the growing seasons.
The hosta halcyon can grow up to 2 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide in a clumping habit as the plants reach full maturity. Divide plants in fall or winter as needed. Mulching with organic material such as pine bark or pine needles will help retain moisture.
