Water deeply, once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions.

Hostas are herbaceous, meaning they will die back during the cooler months but will reappear again in spring.
Hostas like moist and cool environments, so avoid allowing the soil to dry out in between waterings.
Great for understorey plantings in shade or areas with filtered light.
