Hardiness zones 3 to 8. Tolerant of most conditions, hostas grow
best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH
between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is better than clay as it
provides more root aeration. High-filtered or dappled sunlight
is necessary for clean, healthy growth. Morning sun is tolerable
and will help to intensify leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is
often deadly to hostas. They are most at home in shady, woodland
settings and often work well as specimen or edging plants.

to 10 inches); Small (10 to 15 inches); Medium (15 to 22

other environmental factors.
