Plant Care

Miss America Hosta is remarkably easy to maintain and drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Apply a layer of mulch around the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Remove spent flower stalks to maintain appearance. In late fall, cut back foliage to ground level. This variety shows good resistance to slugs and other common hosta pests.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 36-40 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and as deep as the container. Position the plant at the same depth it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Add a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system.
