Planting and Growing Information
Plant Big Daddy hostas in partial to full shade locations, avoiding intense afternoon sun that can scorch the distinctive blue foliage. These versatile perennials thrive in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Spring planting allows roots to establish before summer heat arrives. The impressive foliage emerges in spring with a frosty blue appearance, while the elegant flower scapes rise above the foliage mounds from mid to late summer, attracting hummingbirds and adding vertical interest.
