Plant Information

Plant Care

Old Glory Hosta is a low-maintenance perennial that thrives in shaded areas. Regular watering is essential, especially during establishment, but avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. Remove any yellowed or damaged leaves to maintain appearance. In late fall, cut back foliage to ground level. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring when new growth emerges. Watch for slugs and snails, which can damage foliage.

Planting Instructions

Plant Old Glory Hosta in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Mix organic matter into the soil before backfilling. Space plants 36-40 inches apart to allow for mature spread. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Maintain consistent moisture until established.

For optimal growth, ensure the planting location receives morning sun and afternoon shade. While tolerant of various soil conditions, Old Glory Hosta performs best in rich, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. In hot climates, provide additional shade to prevent leaf scorching.
