Hostas are wonderful shade plants that make excellent choices for landscaping areas that typically do not get direct sunlight each day. Planting your hostas is not difficult, but there are a few things that you should keep in mind if you want them to perform well. You should plant hostas in well-drained soil that is only slightly acidic. Hostas are typically drought resistant for short periods once they are established but you should maintain them regularly and ensure that they have regular moisture. This will give you the best size and appearance. Hostas grow wonderfully in partially shaded areas which make them a good choice for planting around fences, porches and decks.
