1. Planting: Choose an area with full shade and well-drained soil for your Stained Glass Hosta to thrive – any area without harsh sun exposure should work well. When you’re ready to plant, dig a hole that’s about 1 to 2 times the width of your shipped plant’s root ball, place the plant, back fill your soil and water to settle the roots. 

2. Watering: Water the Stained Glass Hosta deeply and regularly during the first growing season to help establish its roots – about once or twice weekly. If you’re not sure when to water, check the surrounding soil down to about 2 inches. If the soil is dry at this depth, it’s time to water.

3. Fertilizing: The Stained Glass should thrive without fertilizer, but if you want to accelerate growth, use a well-balanced blend for shaded areas.

4. Pruning: Remove any old and faded foliage before new leaves emerge in early spring. You can also divide your Hosta every 2 to 3 years, also during the early spring.
