General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in partial to full shade (ideally 3–4 hours of filtered light daily)
  • Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained, moist soil amended with organic matter
  • Watering: Maintain consistent moisture during the growing season, adjusting frequency for cooler Michigan conditions
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to regulate soil temperature and conserve moisture
  • Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves in early spring to refresh the plant’s appearance

Revitalize your landscape with Great Expectations Hosta—a deciduous perennial that adds a sophisticated, textural allure to even the shadiest corners.
