Plant Care

Waterslide Hosta thrives with consistent moisture but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring when shoots emerge and again in early summer. Remove any yellowed or damaged foliage to maintain appearance and prevent disease. Mulch around the plant to retain moisture and suppress weed growth. This variety shows good slug resistance and maintains its beautiful blue color throughout the growing season.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 30-32 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Position the crown at soil level and backfill with rich, organic soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Hostas prefer locations protected from strong afternoon sun to maintain their vibrant coloring.
