Care
1-3 hours morning sun. Spikes of flowers bloom in summer. Prune to remove flower stems and spent leaves so no bugs and diseases.
Maintenance
Divide in early spring or late summer if clumps become too large.
Cleanup
Fall - Remove all dead foliage after first frost to prevent slug eggs from overwintering.
Notes
Clifton Park NY (Zone 5b) provides the perfect cold dormancy period (1000+ chill hours) required for Hostas.
