This shade-loving plant is perfect for adding texture and color to garden borders, woodland areas, and shaded corners.

Fragrance: The flowers are lightly fragrant, adding a subtle scent to the garden. Wildlife and Pest Resistance: Deer and rabbit resistant. Attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Planting Zone Information: USDA Hardiness Zones: 3 to 9. Sun Preferences: Prefers partial to full shade. Can tolerate some morning sun but performs best in shadier locations. Drought Tolerance: Moderate drought tolerance once established, but prefers consistently moist soil. Planting Instructions (from Bareroot): Preparation: Choose a planting site with partial to full shade and well-draining soil. Amend the soil with organic matter if necessary to improve drainage and fertility. Planting: Soak the bareroot hosta in water for about 30 minutes before planting. Dig a hole that is wide and deep enough to accommodate the roots without crowding. Place the bareroot in the hole, ensuring the crown (where the roots meet the stem) is level with the soil surface. Backfill and Watering: Fill the hole with soil, gently firming it around the roots to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots. Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep the mulch away from the crown to prevent rot. Care: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize in the spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Divide the plants every 3-5 years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding. Proud Products Guarantee!! Plants from Daylily Nursery are guaranteed to arrive healthy and green. If you have any concerns or are dissatisfied within the first five days of receiving your plants, please email or call our office. If your plants have received less-than-ideal care or were purchased for planting outside of your recommended growing zone, your purchase isn't covered by our guarantee. Zone recommendations are provided in our listings. Use your best judgment before ordering during unusually hot or cold weather (below 32 degrees F, or in excess of 95F for shipping purposes), as these extremes may leave your plant vulnerable to damage. The optimal time for planting for most of our material is in mid to late spring, past the danger of hard frost. This allows your plants the longest possible growing season. Summer and very early fall are also suitable, as long as your plant is placed in optimal conditions and receives adequate water. Late fall and winter are very risky in most areas. When in doubt about suitable planting times or zone compatible plants for your area, reach out to your local Agricultural Extension Office. If issues with your plants arise within the first 30 days of receipt, please email or call our office. Our knowledgeable staff will review your concerns and provide guidance and troubleshooting, or a one-time replacement if necessary.
