Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Patriot' hostas in partial to full shade locations, though they tolerate morning sun if protected from intense afternoon heat. They prefer moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. These versatile perennials perform beautifully in zones 3-8, making them suitable for projects across most of the continental United States. For best results, space plants 24-30 inches apart when creating mass plantings, and divide established clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor.
