Planting Instructions (bareroot hosta):
-
Plant in spring or fall while soil is cool and moist.
-
Soak bareroot roots in water for 30–60 minutes before planting.
-
Select a location with rich, well-draining soil in partial shade.
-
Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough so the crown (where roots meet shoots) is about 1 inch below soil level.
-
Place the roots in the hole, spread them out, and backfill with soil.
-
Water thoroughly after planting and keep soil consistently moist until established.
-
Mulch around the plant to retain moisture, but avoid covering the crown to prevent rot.
