Hosta - August Moon

🧑‍🌾 Care & Maintenance

Hosta ‘Orange Marmalade’ is relatively low-maintenance, making it suitable for both beginner gardeners and seasoned landscapers. Here are some tips for optimal care:

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially in summer. Avoid overhead watering that may lead to fungal leaf issues.
• Mulching: Apply 2–3 inches of mulch in spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
• Feeding: Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in spring as new growth appears.
• Cleaning: Remove spent flower stalks after blooming. In autumn, trim back dead foliage to prevent overwintering pests or diseases.
• Dividing: Every 4–5 years, divide mature clumps in spring or early autumn to rejuvenate growth and expand your collection.
