Planting and Growing Information
Plant Dream Queen hostas in spring in humus-rich, well-drained soil. While adaptable to various light conditions, they perform best in partial to full shade, especially with protection from intense afternoon sun. Space plants 24-30 inches apart to accommodate their mature spread. Consistent moisture is essential, particularly during establishment and dry periods. These hardy perennials will return reliably each spring, with peak foliage display from late spring through fall and flowering in mid-summer.
