Growth & Care

Atlantis Hosta prefers evenly moist soil and benefits from protection from direct afternoon sun. It adapts well to most soil types and performs reliably in urban environments. As a herbaceous perennial, foliage naturally dies back in winter and reemerges in spring. Remove old foliage in early spring before new growth appears and avoid disturbing the crown during late winter dormancy.

Ideal Uses

Mass plantings, shaded borders, foundation plantings, woodland gardens, groundcover groupings, and mixed perennial beds.

Care Notes

Monitor periodically for common garden insects. Mature plants can be divided to manage size or refresh growth, though cultivated varieties may be subject to propagation limitations depending on licensing or local regulations.
