#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant this low-maintenance herbaceous perennial in an area that receives the right amount of light. The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration, but too much sun will burn the leaves so Wide Brim appreciates more full shade than other perennials. Highly resistant to heat and humidity long as they're given adequate shade and moisture, especially throughout the hottest part of the growing season. Tolerant of dry shade once established, these become incredibly resilient perennials! Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained soils that are highly organic. Preferring a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. A generous 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch chips helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill. Prune back in late fall and divide your Hosta every 3 - 5 years.

• Tolerates Full Shade
• Moderate to Moisture Loving Plant
• Excellent Slug & Snail Resistance
• Very Cold Hardiness & Humidity-Tolerant & Urban Environments
• Prune In Late Fall
